Aaron Rodgers switched it up for Week 10.

The injured Jets QB, rehabbing from the torn Achilles he sustained in the season opener, hit up Eight Cigar Lounge in Las Vegas on Saturday, a day before his teammates took on the Raiders on “Sunday Night Football.”

“Was a pleasure to have #8 in the building last night! Thank you @aaronrodgers12 for stopping by,” Eight’s Instagram account shared on Sunday.

According to TMZ Sports, Rodgers smoked a My Father The Judge cigar while sipping on Blanton’s Gold Edition Kentucky Bourbon — a 103 proof bourbon that retails for over $200 a bottle.

The previous week, the four-time NFL MVP joined the Jets on the field before their “Monday Night Football” game against the Chargers at MetLife Stadium where he was toting a bottle of Maestro Dobel tequila — which was mistaken by some viewers as a bong.

“That was not a bong, first of all,” Rodgers told the “Pat McAfee Show” last week. “There’s a gentleman named John Sutcliffe, he is the ESPN Deportes sideline reporter and he’s tried to interview me in Spanish a few times with some funny results. I dap him up, it’s partly his fault because I was walking off the field with my Maestro Dobel tequila that John Sutcliffe gives me every time he sees me on ‘Monday Night Football.’

“I see [actor Hugh Coles], give him a hug, dap him up, go to pick it back up, s–t falls out and I lose half my tequila. So, shout out to John for bringing me tequila, shout out to Maestro Dobel, shout out to Hugh, shout out to bongs everywhere, but that was not one of them.”

While Rodgers is clearly enjoying his recovery time, he’s also planning a mid-December return to the Jets.

“He said, ‘I know it sounds insane, but you do a good surgery and you have a good patient it makes this possible,’ ” NBC’s Melissa Stark said of her pre-game conversation with the QB on Nov. 12.
