Tom,

I've enjoyed them in NH, too, but when I lived in NJ they were  
terrible.  Too hot, I think.  They don't keep worth beans, so I  
pretty much only eat them in season fresh off the tree.  But when we  
"PYO" I always grab some Macs because they taste great.

I wasn't especially recommending Macs for out of their region, just  
illustrating my comment re sweet cider.
