Smoke Night LIVE - Cigar Dojo

Aaron Paoletta of LaVega Cigar Company joins Smoke Night LIVE to discuss the growth of his cigar brand and the unconventional journey that led him into the premium cigar industry. Before launching LaVega, Aaron spent years working as a chef, cooking for restaurants and high-profile clients, while also pursuing a passion for music that included starting a record label and performing in several bands.

On this episode, we’ll dive into the story behind LaVega Cigars, explore Aaron’s diverse career path, and uncover some of the truths—and myths—of the restaurant business. For example, if an expensive steak hits the floor, does it really get tossed out, or is there a secret chefs don’t want customers to know? Tune in as Aaron shares stories from the kitchen, the music scene, and the cigar world.
