I hear a lot of people say Celebrity is a good tomato but lacks a lot of flavor. Not bragging but my MIL's neighbor grows Celebrity and other "box store" bought tomatoes and they aren't close to my flavor per the MIL/FIL and others.
My slicer was Red Duce. <-great tomato, great flavor compared to Celebrity, will plant again. Cherokee Purple <--meh, won't plant again. Ok flavor, but a PITA plant IMO. Improved Porter <---My fav.

Yeah I didn't like my celeberty or the Phoenix, all my small tomatoes tasted way better than the mid size . I didn't grow any large ones . Where did you get the seed?

I haven't tried the regular Porter. I make salsa with my Improved Porters too. Great flavor. Brad I ordered my Florida 91's and Zac's from Tomato Growers. Never had them before so I don't know if they will be any good. www.tomatogrowers.com/FLORIDA-91-VFF-HYBRID/productinfo/3992/The Red Deuce was a plant I got at HEB this year. I will find some seeds online to order.

Planted a few heirloom tomatoes one year, Cherokee Purple made 4-5 fruits all year and tasted baaad. Had one German Johnson that made one really late and was bad tasting. Planted couple other varieties with same results but can't remember those. Talked to a few people that had same results as me.

Reimer still has the seeds. But it's one of the few sites that I've seen still have them. Check their 1/8oz price.  http://www.reimerseeds.com/tycoon_tomato.aspx

My grower said the Tycoon was a hybrid and didn't know if seeds saved would have the same production????
I had a volunteer Tycoon come up this spring, it has only produced one tomato.

If you can't find some, let me know before spring and I will try to get extra plants next year when I pick mine up.

I had a volunteer Tycoon come up this spring, it has only produced one tomato. That's correct. Tycoons like other hybrids are a cross of 2 specific plants. Your volunteer would not be a true tycoon unless that's all you grow. Most of the time the results of saving and replanting hybrid seed is not great.
