THE HISTORY OF THE JUICY JAY'S NAME
There is a lot of funny folklore and rumors as to the history of the name JUICY JAY'S. I think it's time to tell the whole Juicy Jay's background story......
Told by the founder of Juicy Jays
It all started in the late 1980's in New York City. My friends and I were HUGE LL Cool J fans. I had a white Mustang GT 5.0 convertible with
gold rims (ala Vanilla Ice style). I couldn't afford the leather option so it had grey plaid seats. It was hideous – but these were the 80's and awful stuff
like that was cool. After LL Cool J mentioned in one of his songs that he hangs out on Farmers Boulevard in Queens, we went to cruise Farmers Boulevard asking
pedestrians if anyone knew where LL Cool J hung out. There we were, top-down, 4 funny looking kids from 4 different backgrounds and ethnicities (one of my
friends named Kippie was so white he was practically albino) having the time of our lives. We cruised the entire length of Farmers that day. After that my
friends came up with a new nickname for me. Of course that nickname was "Cool Jay". They would say "yo, over there is that Vanilla Ice's 5.0 – no that's Cool
Jay's Stang, let's head over to Farmers and see if we can find LL".
A decade later when I was coming up with a brand name for my new menthol rolling papers, I branded them with my old nickname Cool Jay's. The next flavor I came
up with was Watermelon. For that one, I named it Juicy Jay's Watermelon. Later came Java Jay's, Jay's rolls and 40 flavors of Juicy Jay's. I still wish that we had been back to find LL back in 1987. I probably would have stuttered and asked where he got his Kangol.

We carefully picked some of our favourite Zippo's just for you.
THE HISTORY OF Zippo
Zippo was founded in Bradford, Pennsylvania in 1932 when George G. Blaisdell decided to create a lighter that would look good and be easy to use. Blaisdell obtained the rights for an Austrian windproof lighter with a removable top, and re-designed it to his own requirements. He made the case rectangular and attached the lid to the bottom with a welded hinge, and surrounded the wick with a windhood. Fascinated by another recent invention, the zipper, Blaisdell called his new lighter "Zippo", and backed it with a Lifetime Guarantee.
