Tyson 2.0
Undisputed
A heavyweight partnership comes out of the gate swinging rousing the market with all new contenders!
Heavy is the head that wears the crown and one of the most complicated and infamous men ever to wear the heavyweight crown is former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson.
Alongside other boxing greats like Muhammad Ali, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Jones Jr. and Canelo Alvarez that are generally equally celebrated, none of which, though may have had some points of controversies, peaks and pitfalls made public in their lives, one can say are as arduous, intriguing and all-around provocative both inside and outside of the ring as Mike Tyson.
Now when it comes to celebrity collaborations in the cigar industry, we’ve seen quite a few. However, it seems as though none have been as striking garnering as much buzz and attention and dominating all forms of media. It can be attributed to the fact the Mr. Tyson is almost always booked and busy or the new series could also be getting a boost as after a long hiatus, Mike is slated to step back into the ring November 2024.
Prior, Mike Tyson’s brand has been very active in the cannabis space since 2021, and this series is his first foray into cigars. With monikers like Iron Mike and Kid Dynamite, it was only fitting to team up with Gurkha a cigar brand as storied and paramount in stature in their own right and is renowned for producing cigars unlike any on the market for all price points and suiting all palates.
Jim Colucci, the Gurkha Cigar group president said of the project: “Our collaboration with Mike Tyson and his teams at LGNDS and Carma HoldCo is a very unique one. We believe we’ve chosen the perfect blends together to represent the Tyson 2.0 brand.’’
Much like Tyson’s other hard-hitting iterations of “Undisputed” released to public, whether it be his memoir Undisputed Truth by Mike Tyson or HBO special movie Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth, the Tyson 2.0 Undisputed cigar series is powerful and pulls no punches.
Two of some of Tyson’s most famous quotes are “My biggest weakness is my sensitivity. I am too sensitive a person.” and “When I fight someone, I want to break his will. I want to take his manhood. I want to rip out his heart and show it to him.”, which speaks to his complex character captured in the Undisputed line fittingly making its debut in two varieties: Tyson 2.0 Undisputed Maduro and Tyson 2.0 Undisputed Habano.
Just like these two quotes are opposite in nature, so are the two different blends, a yin and yang of sorts with the Tyson 2.0 Undisputed Maduro as the yin to the Tyson 2.0 Undisputed Habano’s yang. Audiences can look forward to a true one-two punch combination of premium tobacco and flavor forward blending with knockout tastes for all new champion smokes.
The Tyson 2.0 Undisputed Habano is formatted into two Vitolas, a 7x60 Gigante and a 6x54 Toro. Powerful, the blend is comprised of Criollo ‘98 and Nicaraguan tobacco for the filler that is then capped with a hearty Indonesian binder and rolled into a triumphant Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Senses are won over with its medium bodied smoke whose decadent flavor notes of toasted bread, earth, roasted nuts and spice encounter jabs of pepper hitting tastebuds with hefty precision. From first draw to nub, surveyors will delight in its robust but refined experience.
The Tyson 2.0 Undisputed Maduro is also formatted into two Vitolas, a 7x60 Gordo Extra and a 6x54 Toro delivering a powerful and balanced smoking experience with a medium-plus intensity smoke. Wrapped in a dark Mexican San Andres Maduro leaf are a Cameroon binder followed by Corojo, Broadleaf and T13 fillers whose specific origins are under lock and key. Complex much like the honoree, the wrapper gives the blend a touch of sweetness which is quite ironic for Mike Tyson is known to be intimidating in appearance, however upon getting to truly know him over the years, at his core is actually known to be quite sweet.
