Kingmakers

Let’s clear the air. Kingmakers Cigars isn’t just another boutique brand trying to find a seat at the table. They are the ones building the table, curating the room, and inviting the legends. Headquartered in Pittstown, New Jersey, Kingmakers has quickly become the ultimate "closer" in the cigar world—the brand you call when you want a signature smoke that actually lives up to a Hall of Fame reputation. Vanity projects. No, Kingmakers doesn't do novelty acts. They are the epitome of collaborative excellence. Every release is a deep-dive collaboration designed to translate a specific legacy into a physical experience. They’ve mastered the art of the signature moment, partnering with cultural heavyweights across sports and music to produce some of 2025's most talked-about blends. The VЭRSA VII by Carmelo Anthony is a tribute to Melo’s versatility and Hall of Fame career. This 6x54 Toro sports a rich Habano 2000 wrapper and a complex, evolving profile. A collaboration with KALEO frontman JJ Julius Son, JJ x Kingmakers utilizes an Ecuadorian shade-grown Connecticut wrapper for a profile as rich and soulful as a blues-rock ballad. Designed to celebrate WNBA excellence, the Kelsey Plum Signature is designed to shatter stereotypes, with a bold yet refined blend. Finally, a rugged, cowboy-inspired smoke, the Palomino Longneck by Midland brings country music’s genuine storytelling to the leaf. While the names on the bands are iconic, the tobacco is the real star. Kingmakers works with artisanal factories in Estelí, Nicaragua, focusing on small-batch standards, long-aged fillers, and meticulous construction. From the cryptic, 93-rated Persona No. 1 to the historic reimagining of the Stork Club No. 53, their portfolio is defined by "measured draws" and structured progressions. Whether you're celebrating a championship win or simply the fact that it's Friday, a Kingmaker cigar is the ultimate punctuation mark. They are doing more than selling cigars. They are crafting the accessory for your life’s biggest achievements. Ready to join the society?
