I did a little research with Campbell's and the FFA and found the cultivar for the free tomatoes. I posted the information on the Tomato forum, but just in case you don't follow that forum, Here's the info:

The cultivar in the free seeds program is Campbells CXD 179. It is a determinate variety used for commercial production.

The CXD 179 is described as, "a standard for mid-season production with high solids, medium viscosity, and very good color. Yields are consistently outstanding and the fruit is firm. The medium size plant covers well. "

Disease resistance: VFFN
Shape: Square
Size: 80 grams
Brix: high

Apparently this is an excellent paste tomato...but both the Campbell's and FFA responses include that it is good eaten fresh as well.
