Kingmakers Cigars is creating a new signature cigar for Kelsey Plum, an All-Star guard for the Las Vegas Aces of the WNBA. Plum has garnered attention in recent years for lighting up cigars during the Aces’ two WNBA championship celebrations, and could now be lighting up her own cigar should the Aces win their third championship this season.
The Kelsey Plum Signature Cigar is a 6 x 52 toro that uses a Connecticut wrapper of undisclosed origins over an undisclosed binder and filler. The company says the blend offers an aroma of toasted nuts, particularly almonds, with subtle hints of sweetness and cream, culminating in a bold peppercorn finish. It calls the cigar “a celebration of finesse and focus, offering a refined experience that lingers long after the final puff.”
The cigars come dressed in bands that feature Plum’s logo, which also appears on a pair of cigar-themed shoes dubbed “All the Smoke” that were created by Under Armour for Plum to wear during the Aces’ opening night game on Tuesday.
While the cigars are slated to be released on June 10, they are currently available for pre-order on Kingmakers Cigars’ website. Pricing is set at $175 for a box of 10 cigars.
