I did't find this variety all that flavorfull. For me it was quite large averaging twelve ounces to a pound. It was extremely firm even when left on the vine as a long as possible, never softening up even when overripe. I actually prefer a firm tomato but this one stayed like a rock. The looks and size impressed me but in my opionion the taste did not match up to the hype.
