Sillems is Now Aylesbury?

[Jimmy_Jack]

I think I bought the last of SP.com Sillems London tins. Only to discover that I really like it. Now I read that it has been bought or is under the name of John Aylesbury. Can anyone tell me if this is the exact same blend or just rights purchased to use the name and a near facsimile of the flavors?

Thanks

Name change only as far as I know. Still made by same manufacturer. There have been a couple other threads about it on the forum.

Yes, exact same.

I’ve read this on other threads but haven’t seen any sources confirming this is the case. Anyone got any links or press announcements?

Scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the other 'Sillems' blends listed as well.

Thanks for the info and a site where I can get some Black.

Should be about the same as a lot of Aylesbury and all of Sillems are produced by Kohlhase & Kopp.

Underrated stuff for sure.
