Let me know - this was always my favourite chocolate.... excellent news!
As long as it's still a mixture of dark and milk chocolate, with a heavy dose of rum soaked raisins in it - we're good to go...
Will start looking around also!

Yes, I bought some last week as well - can't remember exactly where though it was a supermarket (may have been Morrissons).
Anyway, now in a different wrapper - red / blue odd looking thing - the 'old' Old Jamaica wrapper with the pirate ship (or whatever it was meant to be) was much better IMHO.
However - the contents didn't last long, and are still the same as the Old Jamaica that we knew and loved... a mixture of dark/milk chocolate with rum soaked raisins.
The other good point about it (and others may like to test) - is that after I was swooning around the kitchen declaring how fantastic it was to have an old "friend" back, Mrs No requested a taste and almost vomited... so - it appears that some love it, some hate it... and as long as Mrs No hates the stuff (perhaps all women do?) I can continue to scoff it all myself. She can keep her marmite accordingly....
May go off for a wander and find another bar... it's great stuff! On the other hand, could finish off that Rum'n'Raisin ice-cream (Asda, ethnic frozen food section - along with the frozen Sheesh kebabs and Polish food) in the freezer...

I wondered what the hell it was, but my wife told me. I hadn't seen it before, she was quite excited to see it though.
