Former NBA player and entrepreneur Carmelo Anthony has launched his signature cigar, VERSA, in partnership with Kingmakers. The cigar was introduced at the Gentlemen’s Supper Club during the NBA All-Star Weekend.
“VERSA is more than just a cigar; it represents focus and commitment,” said Anthony. “I wanted a cigar that reflects my journey and passion for storytelling. Partnering with Kingmakers made this vision a reality.”
The name “VERSA” comes from the Latin word “Versatilis,” symbolizing adaptability and strength. The cigar features a blend of aged tobaccos, including a Habano 2000 wrapper, Sumatra binder, and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania. It offers a medium- to full-bodied profile with notes of black pepper, toasted nuts, espresso, and dark chocolate.
The launch event gathered figures from sports, entertainment, and business, offering curated pairings to complement the cigar’s profile.
“We are pleased to collaborate with Carmelo Anthony on VERSA,” said a Kingmakers spokesperson. “His vision aligns with our mission to produce high-quality cigars that resonate with enthusiasts.”
VERSA will be available in limited quantities through select retailers and Kingmakers’ official website starting in late March.
