Las Vegas Aces star Kelsey Plum is one of the WNBA's best players. The first-overall pick in the 2017 WNBA draft, Plum began her career with the San Antonio Stars who became the Las Vegas Aces in 2018.

A three-time WNBA All-Star and two-time champion, Plum owns career averages of 14.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists. Winning back-to-back titles with Las Vegas in 2022 and 2023, Plum went viral during both championship parades for smoking a celebratory cigar.

"Kelsey Plum got the cigar out again," ESPN captioned a post on Oct. 23, 2023 that tallied over 3.1 million views.

Capitalizing on this becoming part of her individual brand, Plum launched her own exclusive cigar with Kingmakers in May of this year. In an announcement on Friday, Plum revealed her cigar is now being sold at Eight Lounge at Resorts World Las Vegas.

"My cigar, now sold in lounges," Plum wrote on Instagram. "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."
