The original seeds of the Indian Carbon come from Assam in India. This Indian variety is a little different from that of the original Bhut Jolokia we all know it is smaller in pod size and has a much thinner wall, and the extreme heat seems to be more due to these thiner walls. The pods are some of the best for drying.The Carbon pod has a rough and more wrinkly skin. This plant will give you a very large crop, much more than the original strain. This one is really worth planting
