I've grown this variety once only, and only 1 plant. My tomatoes looked nothing like the photos posted by dokutaaguriin. The shoulders may not have been completely smooth, but were not nearly as ruffled as those tomatoes. The size was 12oz. to 1 pound for the most part. Mine did looked somewhat like the photo Mark posted, and like the photo is Dr. Male's book.

My plant was not nearly the huge monster that some people have reported. It was fairly productive, but was still outproduced by Rose and Kellogg's Breakfast the year I grew it. The flavor was okay, nothing special, but that may just be me. I also sampled this variety at Tomatopalooza. Still found the flavor to be only so so. Not bad, but to me, it doesn't have the strong full-flavor that some seem to detect. May just be my taste buds.
