+1.. lovely big garlic. Never thought of weighing the cloves, but the biggest porcelain clove I have left is only 16 g (yes I had to run and weigh one! ) and that is still a respectable size for me to work with. I don't like peeling little cloves.
I started some marbled purple stripe bulbils last year and was very impressed with the size of rounds I got (but doubt it was anywhere close to 44 g... WOW!). But it gave me high hopes for full sized garlic in 2 or 3 years. Finding varieties that size up quick is important to me. Not having the same luck with (non-marbled) purple stripe (Chesnok Red and Persian Star) which are late season harvest for us and ended up producing divided bulbs with really small cloves in the second year.
