Kelsey Plum, WNBA All-Star and entrepreneur, recently teamed up with Kingmakers to host an unforgettable evening at Resorts World’s Eight Lounge in Las Vegas to announce that the Kelsey Plum Signature Toro (52 x 6) cigar, made by Kingmakers, is now available to premium tobacco retailers everywhere.
Set against the vibrant backdrop of Resorts World, the event, which brought together more than 100 cigar aficionados, featured curated hors d’oeuvres, specialty cocktails, and live entertainment. Guests enjoyed a sophisticated atmosphere that seamlessly celebrated the elegance of the cigar lifestyle, which featured Kingmakers’ Kelsey Plum Signature Toro—a cigar crafted to embody Plum’s dynamic personality and refined taste.
Kingmakers approached Plum about creating her own cigar line after witnessing the Las Vegas Aces player celebrate winning the WNBA championship by enjoying a cigar in 2022. She repeated the celebration with a fine cigar after the Aces won the championship again in 2023. Blended to her own specifications, the Kelsey Plum Signature Toro cigar features a delightfully mild but flavorful blend of velvety smooth Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos that offers notes of toasted nuts, sweet cream, and peppery spice.
Plum took to Instagram and quoted lyrics from Young Jeezy’s “Go Crazy” to describe the event, which even featured her signature logo lighting up the Resorts World façade.
“My cigar, now sold in lounges. If you would have told me that a couple years ago when I smoked my first cigar in this same lounge, I would have laughed. Your life can look a lot different in a short time….in the best way. Won’t HE do it. ‘They say the truth shall come to the light, everybody grab ya shades cause ya girl that bright ‘.”
The Kelsey Plum Signature Toro cigar is a collaboration between Plum and Kingmakers that officially debuted in late June to coincide with the start of the WNBA’s 2024 season. Now, the cigar is available for distribution to premium tobacconists everywhere.
