The comedy duo, who released nine comedy albums between 1972 and 1985, are planning on a "Hey, What's That Smell?" tour.

During their careers, Cheech and Chong were nominated for four Grammy Awards and won one. They also starred in eight feature films, almost always portraying a pair of comical stoners stumbling through life.

Cheech Marin told AP Radio that he and Tommy Chong "looked at each other going, `If we're ever going to do something it has to be now because you're not getting any younger and neither am I.' "

They decided a comedy tour would be "the most fun" and "the least hassle," the 62-year-old Marin said.

Marin and Chong, who broke up because of creative differences, have tried to reunite before, but couldn't stop fighting. Marin laughed and said: "It takes about 3 minutes for that to happen. There's this veiled hatred." But he added: "We've kind of resolved that."

He talked about the subject matter of their tour. "I think it's time for a revival of dope jokes. It's a much bigger audience now, it's much more widespread and institutionalized."
