Marshawn Lynch and Kingmakers announced last week a new premium cigar collaboration. The blend for Beast Mode by Kingmakers was developed by Lynch alongside Claudio Torres of Kingmakers and Bryon Sheng of Beast Mode. The new cigar will make its first public appearance Friday, October 2, 2026, at Eight Lounge inside Resorts World Las Vegas.
“Marshawn’s name will bring people to this cigar. The blend has to bring them back,” said Bucky Heath, CoFounder and CEO of Kingmakers. “He worked with Claudio and Bryon to build a cigar with the strength his name calls for and the balance that makes it worth smoking from beginning to end.”
Oakland-born Lynch built a twelve-season NFL career on power and individuality, earning a Super Bowl title and five Pro Bowl selections. The Nicaraguan 6 x 52 cigar was made with the same conviction he brings to anything carrying the Beast Mode name. The cigar features a Habano 2000 Rosado wrapper over a Criollo híbrido binder, and Jalapa Viso, Seco, and Estelí Ligero in the filler.
“Bringing a cigar to market isn’t easy. I’ve have kicked back in lounges around the globe talking with folks from all parts of the industry, owners, the cats working in the humidors, factories, and of course other cigar smokers. The goal was to make a blend that I’d reach for myself… something that meets the mark of the Beast Mode name but also all the hands and people in the fields, rolling, testing, boxing, banding and shipping cuz it’s not just my name, everyone who put their time in to this is represented. When I light my cigar and hopefully when you get your flame out and slow down to get right, you’ll see what I’m talkin’ bout.” says Marshawn Lynch.
Presale is now live at kingmakerscigars.com/beastmode. After presale, Beast Mode by Kingmakers will be available on Cigars.com, followed shortly thereafter by select brick-and-mortar retailers.
