Anybody got thick skins this year?

Now that I've had a wider sampling of my tomatoes, there are definitely thicker skins on some, and not so noticeable on others. That's not to say that the skins aren't thicker on all of them, just that they aren't unedible. The varieities that I notice it on are the ones where the skin is REALLY thick. I also grow in containers, which might be part of the issue. Last year my Black Cherries were splitting, and this year they aren't.....thicker skins? The BC's are delicious though, and the skins are thin enough to eat.
