Xhaxhi Bobi is a Dominican cigar brand founded by Bob de Goede, a Dutch-born former cigar-box maker who has lived in the Dominican Republic for more than two decades (“Xhaxhi” is Albanian for “uncle”). halfwheel reports that de Goede asked Hendrik Kelner Jr. to make cigars for him, that the cigars are made at various Dominican factories, that his aim is for the lines to show off each factory’s blending style (2023), and that he has said every band will name the factory that made the cigar (2022). Those reports give no strength range or flavour notes, so we do not state them here. Strength and flavour vary from blend to blend, so go by the maker’s description for each cigar. A practical first pick is a line from a factory whose style you already enjoy, then compare other factories. See the Xhaxhi Bobi category page for current listings.
