I feel like I just climbed to the summit of K2. Thanks Judy! I am so thankful to have had 30 or so different chiles (About 28 of which were due to the kindness of the many amazing members here on THP) before I tried this one. Between this and the Douglah last week, working my way up the heat ladder has been an amazing journey for me. I think if I had tried this as my first pepper I might have just quietly deleted my user name here on THP and keep target shooting as my only hobby. OK, so on to the review. The Trinidad Scorpion Butch T is a small little pepper. Very deceiving except for its wicked looking tail. The pepper was a nice deep red with a light bumpy but smooth skin. It looked very juicy and felt like it had a thicker skin like a Congo Trinidad. Holding it in your hand it had a nice give to it, not a plastic feel like some of the 7’s. Cutting it open there was no whoosh of aroma. Smelling up close was actually pretty pleasant. A mild fruity scent with a strong capsicum aura that was actually hot smelling but not evil in any way. I was joking about it in my Douglah review, but this one really did kind of said “Hey, I not that bad. Just pop me in your mouth and see” Seed count was low to med-low. Maybe 8-10 seeds. Seed placenta was small, but the interior of the pepper had the thickest layer of placenta covering it that I can remember. Douglah was thick…. maybe equal, but the brown color made it harder to discern its thickness. The Douglah did have more visible …

@lexijohnson not the seeds.
on the inner skin or surface there is capsicin an this makes it hot hot hot. :-)
don’t make such a comment when you have don’t know this.
You have balls.
all u ppl are nuts for eating this like that YOU TOOK THE SEEDS OUT SO YOU FAIL , THE SEEDS IS WHAT MAKES IT HOT , YOU FAIL FAIL FAIL
Actually the inner walls and the placenta hold most of the capsaicin, not the seeds.
Most people take the seeds out so they can grow their own, not to reduce the heat. Besides, a few scoville units really won’t make any difference at this level of chilli.
The seeds definitely have hot factor. By taking the out he halved the spice .
i wana try does you should make hot sauce of them
You pussy!! Taking the seeds out!! Eat it whole!!
beetlestorm u rock i dare u 2 make a hot sause out of the butch t
habenero?.. psssht.. i eat scorpion peppers a couple times and 7 pot on a regular basis..i’m trinidadian i eat these things everyday.. the seeds are hot, its just the fleshy parts close to the seeds are the hottest.
not that hot. lol
you ever bitten into just the skin of a habanero? now think of a pepper about 5 times hotter than that. that’s what this dude ate.
and the seeds don’t contain any of the chemical that makes the pepper hot. not a drop.
The seeds don’t produce any cap, but they get coated in it. Removing the seeds is removing substantial heat… which would matter if he was trying to show what a tough guy he is and not reviewing the pepper.
to get the full ‘burn’ of the pepper, he was supposed to eat the seeds as well, otherwise it won’t be that hot…, had he done that he would have been rolling….
good luck.
Where can I buy these chilis?
that may be true but he cut out the white membrane as well
Message TED THE FIRE BREATHING IDIOT here on youtube he hook me up with a couple and at a really good price i recommend you talk to him good luck !
You sound like a fking horse while chewing.. God it’s annoying -.-
The thick gloves might be a bit overboard and if you just eat the whole thing at once you will get the same result.
anybody know where I can find a few ripe ones?
according to wiki “The seeds themselves do not produce any capsaicin, although the highest concentration of capsaicin can be found in the white pith of the inner wall, where the seeds are attached.”
from what i understand there is no capsaicin in the seeds or very little, believe it or now. most, nearly all, of the capsaican is located in the white placenta of these chili peppers.
so this guy is eating the legit super hot stuff. the white tissue of the pepper.
hey guy. i’m growing some hot peppers. mainly different kinds of trinidad scorpions and bhut jalokias.
do you grow? if so how do you get these things to grow hotter?  i understand they grow super hot by themselves, but is there anything you can do to make them even hotter?
