Cigar connoisseur Steph Curry drops 3-word message to hype Kelsey Plum's 'dream' venture
On thing that Steph Curry and Kelsey Plum have in common is their taste in cigars. The two basketball stars have been known to express their interests in quality cigars. Once Plum, the Las Vegas Aces guard, starts her own business around it, four-time NBA champion Curry immediately gave props.
According to a report by Front Office Sports, the two-time WNBA champion will take a dip into entrepreneurship and start her own cigar line with Kingsmaker. As promised, the business took off, and Plum invited some of her teammates during the launch.
"Celebrate wins in life with those who are there every step of the way," captions Plum on her Instagram post. "Really my own ciger ....Yesterday was a dream, I'm floating."
The Instagram post had her followers congratulating her, and one of them was Steph Curry, who kept it simple with his greetings.
"Big time moves!!!" commented Curry.
The Las Vegas Aces just played their first WNBA game of the 2024 season. They beat he Phoenix Mercury 89-80. Kelsey Plum had 19 points, five assists, three rebounds and one assist in the victory.
Steph Curry shares his passion for cigars
Just like Kelsey Plum, Steph Curry also launched his cigar line, called the Gentleman's Cut, which was launched in May 2023. Recalling how he fell in love with a good smoke of a cigar, the former league MVP pointed to 2010 when he was introduced to the vice during a friend's wedding.
Since then, Steph Curry has had a newfound interest for premium cigars like a Montecristo and Cohibas.
However, he acknowledges that it's unhealthy for an athlete like him to have too much. Curry stresses that he doesn't smoke on game days but does so when he takes time off playing golf.
"Not on game days," said Curry in a report of Cigar Afficionado.
Having a good cigar during a celebratory mood is what Curry is always looking for, especially after winning NBA championships with the Golden State Warriors right before the champagne bath.
“I want a cigar with me as soon as the horn goes off, but don’t give me a good one. It’s going to get soaked with champagne,” said Curry
“I put the goggles on, next thing I come out and I got a soaked cigar. "You can tell the color is just saturated. And I hadn’t even got close to lighting it yet. So I learned my lesson the hard way.”
The Golden State Warriors were eliminated during the NBA Play-In Tournament, losing to the Sacramento Kings. Entering this summer, Steph Curry is expected to suit up for Team USA in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
