Last year I grew three varieties of longkeepers and actually liked them. They had very low sugar and very high acid yet decent tomato flavor. The longest keeping for me was Clare's:

Clare's lasted through the end of January. I stored them at room temperature. I suppose they could have kept even longer at lower temperatures. Mystery Keeper was the other one that stored and tasted well.
I share seeds under domestic SSE's conditions for everybody, member or not.

I'm at seed sharing mode now, later in the year I'm just way too busy and get way behind.

At least "de colgar" tomatoes store better at not so cool temperatures. If it's cold for us, it's too cold for them.
