Much to my surprise, these things flew off the e-shelves yesterday. I hoped for a better than average amount of interest shown but it was even greater than expected.

I knew all day that yesterday was a federal holiday. Yet, that didn’t stop me from going to the PO to drop these joints in the mail (fast service!)…only to remember that the motherfucker was closed. So if you ordered before Monday afternoon, your order will be shipped today. If you haven’t ordered yet, what are you waiting for?

To cop, visit The Smoke Shop.

When I originally wrote “Drags To Riches”, my piece on EZ-Splitz, I openly asked the creator to step forward and share the history on this ingenious product. These simple-yet-life-changing keychain blunt cutters have made their way into every convience store in my Metro area and coincidentally all of my friends’ pockets. Being the type of person who likes to buy instant lottery tickets and watches infomercials, I was extremely curious to learn who coined the radical idea that was about to save every greenskeeper time, frustration and a stale blunt…or three.

Kindly, the good folk at EZ-Splitz reached out to TSS and granted my wish.

Read as Scooby, the one of the minds behind the EZ-Splitz, tells how he and his small team of ambitious entrepreneurs have taken their product from a leafy revelation to a product that has made it’s way onto shelves in each of the fifty states. For a company that specializes in blunt products, the people at EZ-Splitz are pretty damn sharp.

TSS: What’s going on?

Scooby: How you doin’ B?

TSS: Good. Good. Why don’t you introduce yourself to the people and let them know your position you hold with EZ-Splitz?

Scooby: I go by Scooby. That’s a nickname. I‘m pretty much in sales and help in development. I came up with the idea, as far as developing it from another product that was out.

TSS: I’m gonna’ get more into the background of the product in a minute. But before I do that, why don’t you let everybody that’s reading this know exactly what EZ-Spltz are and what you’re doing for your customers.

Scooby: Okay Well, EZ-Splitz are cigar cutters that are used to make your own blunt wraps out of cigars. It’s basically a key-chain accessory that you slide a blunt, …er cigar through. It cuts it open down the middle, so that you can create your own blunt wrap for the use of better tobacco.

TSS: How long have y’all been making them?

Scooby: EZ-Spltz have been around since May maybe.

TSS: So, it’s relatively new then?

Scooby: Yeah, relatively new. It’s been around since right before the summer.

TSS: I’m from Detroit and I’ve seen EZ-Splitz all over the place. My boys all got ‘em. My friend’s dad actually has one on his keychain. So, obviously it’s something a lot of people want. My main man actually said that he was the one who invented them and he wants the credit. I’m sure you probably get all the time. So why don’t you tell us how the idea actually did come about?

Scooby: The idea actually came about from a rapper who was around a few years ago. But the design was totally different though. First of all, it was a lanyard piece that went around your neck. It was a piece of plastic with a storage space in it for it your tobacco. There was also a place where you put your lighter. On the side, there was a tube that you slide your cigar through that would cut it open. It was a completely other product & that was about three years ago. A friend brought the old one, we saw it and developed the idea and came out with the EZ-Split.

Looking at the idea, we took it and streamlined into something that would be more beneficial in size and carrying it around. A lot of people don’t want to wear something that big around their neck, so we cut it down to make it a keychain accessory. Ours was a keychain, which is very small and very compact. I do believe because the first one was made for the cigarillos and his first one was for the blunt. They didn’t even have cigarillos at the time. Ours was for the cigarillos.

TSS: It doesn’t surprise me at all that a rapper developed this. I wrote about how I was envious of the person who came up the product, so I’m curious, who was the rapper who came up the idea?

Scooby: The cigar cutter itself?

TSS: Well, the original idea. I mean, it’s like the American Dream to be sitting back with some blunts and think, “Man, I got this great idea…” and then turn it into a profit right quick, you know?

Scooby: To be honest with you, what happened was, it was a totally different design and we actually came up with the design for ours before we even knew about the other one. It was kind of odd. We were actually talking about doing the cigar cutters themselves and making it a keychain accessory. Then a friend brought in the other one. I’m not exactly sure the name of the rapper. But his was totally different than the one we had and we went ahead proceeded with ours.
