The postseason is almost approaching, and the Las Vegas Aces are pushing hard.
The Aces have kept their No. 4 ranking in the rankings thanks to the exploits of the three-headed monster that is A’ja Wilson, Kelsey Plum, and Jackie Young. Their 23-13 card.
The Aces will be a strong favorite in the playoffs even though three other clubs are ahead of them. They are, after all, the two-time reigning champs.
When they won the championship in 2022, Plum followed through on her vow to enjoy a cigar, and as a result, they took home a famous snapshot. After capturing their second consecutive title the previous season, she repeated the feat.
She currently sells the Kelsey Plum Signature Toro cigars under her own brand.
Plum stated, “My cigars are for anyone seeking that championship feeling,” in a Kingmakers Cigars advertising piece. “I have come to associate cigars with it. That emotion is unmatched, and I believe it’s vital to reflect on the past and cherish the adventure.”
In fact, Plum has had an incredible rise to become one of the WNBA’s top players. In addition to her two rings, she has also won two Olympic gold medals, been a three-time All-Star, the MVP of the All-Star Game in the past, and been named the Sixth Man of the Year.
The 30-year-old guard continued, “I’ve been lucky enough that cigars have become a special tradition for me.””They are an indulgence, and we’ve had big moments to celebrate with a smoke each of the last two summers.”
Plum and the Aces intend to extend that streak to three consecutive summers.
