John Aylesbury Black = Sillem's Black?

[Lawyer66]

Hey all,

I noticed a while back that Sillem's is now under John Aylesbury. Figured it out first when purchasing Sillems Linea Epoque from TheStoryTellersPipe. This morning, I looked on Boswell's site and noticed they now stock John Aylesbury Black. I am genuinely curious as to whether they are the same thing.

Also, has anyone here tried it? Would love to read a review. As I remember it, Sillem's Black is a bit of a crossover blend and I am interested in trying them.

Yes. They are. Haven’t tried either but have read several things about them being the same.

After listening to Allen Schwartz and, with what Brian has hinted at since he is no longer in "the business", I suspect this is the case in a lot of instances.

I just ordered a tin on Boswell's site. I never looked close enough before but they have a nice selection of tinned tobacco.

They really do. I have actually found that smaller shops with sites tend to have certain blends that larger retailers may run out of. As for the John Aylesbury tobacco, I think I may just pull the trigger on a tin myself. I have heard too many good things about Sillem's not to try.

Pipedia lists some information on Sillem’s and Aylesbury, but it’s limited.

When I’ve asked about them, I’ve been told they are the same, just that for exporting reasons, the name changed. This is all I know. But there are websites and email addresses, so imam going to contact and see if a I can get a

Just Google Sillem’s Tobacco, the URL/Address not working here on the forum.

Funnily enough, in posing the original question, I alerted everyone to the availability of Sillem's Black (John Aylesbury Black) at Boswell's. I completely forgot to order a tin for myself and by the time I tried they were out of stock?

Thanks for looking into this one?

Before the Edit time ran out, I was saying I’m contacting John Aylesbury.

The Pipedia shows their website, which mentions pretty much the same, that John Aylesbury are theses local German businesses.

Funny thing, Black isn’t even listed on their site, I wonder if they stopped making it. Hmm ?
