This variety is from the Chaguanas area of Trinidad and is extremely rare. It has built up an almost myth like quality (although they do exist!) In Caribbean regions it is also known as 7 pot as one pod is said to provide enough heat to spice up 7 pots of stew. Pods are habenaro like in there shape but have the characteristic 'pimpling' as found on another fearsome variety - the Naga Morich. Unusually the proportion of Placental tissue is very high - a allusion to why this pepper is so outrageously hot? 'Genuine' pods (and therefore seeds) are almost impossible to find as there are no commercial suppliers to our knowledge.
