Xhaxhi Bobi Cigars: A Taste of Dominican Craftsmanship Finds a New Home in the USA

Bob de Goede has exciting news for cigar enthusiasts in the United States. His boutique Xhaxhi Bobi cigar brand will now be distributed in the U.S. by SLC Distributors, LLC.

SLC Distributors is closely associated with Sir Louis Cigars, a prominent retail store based in Wilbraham, Massachusetts. At present, Xhaxhi Bobi stands as the sole national brand under distribution by SLC, led by the capable stewardship of Matt Jordan.

It’s worth noting that Xhaxhi Bobi was previously distributed by Vlada Stojanov’s Bespoke Co. until March of this year. In recent developments, Lampert Cigars also announced its decision to terminate its distribution agreement with Bespoke Co. Stojanov, in turn, introduced his own brand, Somm, earlier this year.

Born in The Netherlands, Bob de Goede has spent the last two decades of his life residing in the Dominican Republic. During this period, he ventured into crafting cigar boxes, a journey that eventually led him to approach Hendrik Kelner Jr. with a unique request to create a cigar that met his discerning standards. Xhaxhi Bobi’s cigars are meticulously crafted at various factories in the Dominican Republic. De Goede’s vision is to showcase the distinct blending styles of each factory through his exceptional cigar lines.

This new distribution agreement with SLC Distributors, LLC is set to bring the delightful Xhaxhi Bobi cigar experience to a broader audience in the United States. Cigar aficionados can anticipate savouring the unique and diverse flavours that each line within the Xhaxhi Bobi brand has to offer, exemplifying the artistry of Dominican cigar craftsmanship.
