Carmelo Anthony Commemorates Career with Kingmakers, VЭRSA VII

NBA legend and Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony’s first signature cigar line, VЭRSA VII, developed in an exclusive partnership with the manufacturer Kingmakers, is now shipping to retailers and consumers. The Cigar is crafted  in Estelí, Nicaragua and is available exclusively at the company’s website.

“We’re so excited to have VЭRSA VII ready to share with the world. This has been a long time in the making, and I wanted every part of it to be done right.” said Carmelo Anthony. “With everything I do, it’s about the work, the patience, and the attention to detail. VЭRSA VII is very personal to me—it’s about growth, reflection, and everything that’s shaped me. I’m looking forward for people to experience what we’ve created.”

The name VЭRSA VII is a nod to Anthony’s multifaceted identity and his iconic #7 jersey number. The cigar itself features a Habano 2000 wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.

“Working with Carmelo has been a masterclass in collaboration,” said Bucky Heath, CEO of Kingmakers.”His incredible palate and passion for craftsmanship pushed us to create something truly exceptional. VЭRSA VII is a cigar worthy of a legend.”
