Homies giving the 411 on where he cops his Piff..HA reminds me of that dave chappelle skit where the crack head is telling the kids where to cop rocks..............what?
I grew up in Sherman ave and there's no mystery or hype to this divine botanical. I've been to L.A. and Amsterdam and there's nothing quite comparable to what we get up in the Washington Heights as far as hazes go. Not insinuating that there wasn't anything good out in other places, but indeed not as special. To my knowledge this cut originally came from the Cubans down in Florida and will grow it out and ship it to the Dominicans up in the heights. This was back in the late 90's. In Miami they call it "Crippy". I went and visited my cousin who's from Hialeah Florida. He told me he was going to get me some "Crippy". When i got there and he blessed me with the bag and I opened it up. The same exact aroma that of the haze from the block. Smoke tested and it was one in the same. It's very commendable on the research and everyone's input on tracing the origins of these unique traits of this particular haze.
most cubans in FL switched up to sour for quicker turnover on a more sought after strain, n keep the black haze for headstash... if it does go anywhere its to Dyckman for top dollar. nothing like the haze. JJs african haze is supposed to be very siimilar to that catpiss piff.
that's interesting...this is from an article regarding that incidentKareem Biggs Burke who was 1/3 of rocafella records founder was HUGE in the mid 90s to mid 2000s having amassed a serious power in the music industry and making millions was indicted for bringing up millions worth of high grade bud from Florida in tractor trailers thru his companies ..it's all on Google ..all headed to NYC
that's interesting...this is from an article regarding that incident
Perez, who was looking for new contacts after some of his South Florida suppliers were busted

To each there own but you have to realize it's who you know
NYC has some of the best pizza in the states but your not going to get the best slice walking in just any pizzeria . Italy has some of the best pasta but there's many tourist traps with average food
2008 is 10 yrs after I first smoked Uptown Haze , the quantity of quality dropped drastically around 03 ish . IMO its clear whoever you bought Piff from is a bad connect as they are younger most likely don't know quality and have no knowledge of piff . It's a uptown term I never heard it till probably 03/04 and the cats in the heights at the time where calling it piffington aka Haze/ piff from Washington heights . Dipset made the term piff popular but it's not who I first heard it from , do the math dipset is from Harlem right next to the heights .
What we do agree on is Adam Haze anint nothing like Uptown Haze
Just had to drop some history , I'm someone who was there

Bad connect?! Please, I most certainly did not (was not and am not a "herb") as you said the haze was maybe past it's golden days at that point. But I was still getting grade-A nuggest of sours and kushes.
Such rhetoric also comes with "obsoletion" of strains. Not to call haze obsolete, far from it, but by the time the 2010s rolled around the weed-scene had changed drastically from what it was a decade before. Weeds above 20% THC back then were more of an anomaly, now out west they have things surpassing 30% thc allegedly. So maybe some of those "black haze" cuts were superior back in the day, but I guarantee they wouldn't surpass the 25% THC bud found out west these days...
I used to laud NYC bud as being better than elsewhere as much as the next guys, but after I started meeting better connects elsewhere I realized just as good bud could be had anywhere else and was in much better price and abundance in other places I spent time - Washington State, Barcelona & Amsterdam.
All places I find cheaper (and on average) much better bud than in NY. That's not to say the best in NY can't hang with the best anywhere. But for those top 1% strains/individual samples those are gonna come from Western states, and will be as strong if not stronger than any Piff ever was.
While we agree that the hazes between Dam and NY are different I personally prefer and find danker and much tastier the Dutch hazes. Most certainly all the other places mentioned have better pricing than NY too, what's good bud go for in the city these days?
I'm not trying to argue or offend just calling it how it is
To be honest brother , I think the Sour n Kush became bastardized around the 08-10 era , soo if that's your first experience you probably didn't smoke the real . The Rez sours ecsd the bs Kush's aka hybrid of a hybrid became common as everybody was trying to cash in on the hype . Sour n Kush still flood NYC but unless you have the connect it anint Diesel aka Chem91 soo much Kush but unless you know the guy it anint OGkush
Your point about THC percentage shows more of your mindset . If you were talking about weed from the 70's compared to Today there is some relevance in the fact of the shipping and how it lost THC and terpenes in packing and shipping . While I'm not from the era I still believe some 70's land races blew today's hybrids out the box . Because it's not all about THC % it's about combination of different terpenes and THC much of today's strains are all soo similar and shuffled because they are breed toward everything but a complex high to appease a indoor market who cares about one thing the dirty dollar
Kush and sour is a mark for you they have been the top of the major market for a long while . Well if you know the history they both date back to the early 90's possibly earlier . It's not that high THC wasn't around before it just wasn't as abundant as today is the case .Haze is from the 70's still in high demand Rks from the 80's still being chased
Some of the best I've smoked where no name strains , most strains are similiar nowadays its sad . Not to say we have the best I've never been to Cali and know it's there ,but it makes its way here . NYC has always had the best of everything we will always have the best of everything . It's who you know it's sometimes are you willing to spend . A major trading port shipping port a major city with major money . You need it we got it
