Details
A cross between Tiger Teeth and an unknown BBG strain. Super-Hot and big. The calyx does bleed but must be left on the plant until really ripe, which makes for a neat visual in the garden. VERY thick walled pods, almost bell pepper thick. Very juicy and sweet with one hell of a punch of heat. Size of the pods lend themselves well to sauces and powders, and they take smoke very well. Non-Isolated.
SHU: 850,000 - 1,100,000
