7-Pot Wes
Capsicum chinense
Background
History is this was originally a 7-Pot Burgandy grown by Jim Duffy. He got a red and bumpy pod off of one of those plants. He sent that to Wes Lane, who grew and reported back that it had a great flavor and heat. Jim continued growing that strain and named the variant after Wes.

Review
This is a very productive plant, some have quasi-tails/center protrusions others are just wrinkly and bumpy. When cut open, lots of capsicum oil, the white lining on the interior walls, and a lot of placental tissue in the center.
I tried a vertical slice, excluding the seeds and placenta. The flavor was good, a little 7-Pot floral aroma, a little sweet flavor with very little bitterness. Upon swallowing I felt a heat explosion in the general throat area, that spread outward, then descended down to my chest.
I didn’t get any adverse effects, no cap cramps at all.
