WNBA star Kelsey Plum has partnered with Kingmakers Cigars to introduce her own signature cigar line. This collaboration not only marks a significant milestone in the cigar industry but also underscores Plum’s dynamic presence both on and off the basketball court.
The Kelsey Plum Signature Toro cigar, meticulously crafted in Estelí, Nicaragua, features a 6×52 Connecticut shade-grown wrapper enveloping a rich Nicaraguan tobacco blend. Hand-selected by Plum herself, this composition offers a smooth smoking experience with notes of toasted nuts, a subtle dry sweetness, and a peppercorn finish, appealing to both seasoned aficionados and newcomers alike.
Kelsey Plum Celebrate Like a Champion
Plum’s collaboration with Kingmakers was inspired by her celebratory cigar moments following back-to-back WNBA championships with the Las Vegas Aces in 2022 and 2023. These iconic celebrations caught the attention of Kingmakers, leading to the development of a cigar that embodies Plum’s elegance, determination, and triumphant spirit.
The official launch event took place at Eight Lounge in Las Vegas, where Plum introduced her signature cigar to an audience of over 100 cigar enthusiasts. Reflecting on the collaboration, Plum expressed her enthusiasm:
“Kingmakers has been an amazing partner and has created a line of cigars that I absolutely love, and that are perfect for celebrating a special occasion.” She added, “I’ve been fortunate to have had the chance to indulge in a celebratory smoke each of the last two seasons and we’ll be doing everything we can this year to go for three in a row.”
The Kelsey Plum Signature Toro cigar is now available for purchase through Kingmakers Cigars’ official website and select premium tobacconists. This collaboration not only celebrates Plum’s athletic achievements but also introduces a new dimension to her brand, bridging the worlds of sports and luxury lifestyle in an unprecedented way.
