What do yo consider original Haze? The Haze's from 79 or 80? Lets be honest here, original haze does not exist anymore. Many haze crosses. But original haze from the early 80's, was not called Haze where I was in OC Cali. Electric weed, and and a lot of thai crosses. After 1981 Thai stick was basically gone. When they busted that big shipment, in went down hill from there. It's easy to say now how the gene pool was polluted by breeders. But back then it was not even thought of. It was all about making the best crosses, but rarely with Indica. Even the Honey oil in the 80's, was sativa. Smoked in those glass pipes, talk about expando.I've mentioned this a few times on various threads. I think its even mentioned on the first page under "american sativas".
The NYC haze, aka: piff, church, uptown haze is no secret. There have even been several newspaper articles and even a few news videos on it. About who is growing it and where they are doing it.
That haze has been around in the south since at least the late 90s. Before it showed up in New York. NYC haze got popular in New York after '04 and after the "cartoon network" delivery service era got shut down. This was when "diesel" weed was simply a clone only known as "new york city diesel" the other two big names were its cousin plant "chemdawg" or "head band". The last big name was "Strawberry Cough" which you don't hear much about anymore. "Piff" wasn't around much in those days.
It is known everywhere else except new york as "cuban haze", miami haze, florida haze, 90 days haze, and the black haze. Actually there are other colors too. Black is the most common commercial one though.
There have been large newspaper articles on it. Cuban Drug Trade Organizations smuggle in immigrants to suburban homes, and make them grow weed for a couple of years and then they get to keep the house as payment. The cubans smuggle it up into New York and sell grams of it on street corners for top dollar. They usually sell 3 gram 1/8's or .8 grams. That comes out to about $9000 per pound street value.
They pack a house full of lights, and have a couple of mother plants of the "90 day haze" It is a skinny bean pole of a plant that produces buds all the way down the stem. You can just root a cutting and pack it in to the grow room SOG style. Its finished when its finished. Eliminates the need for a veg room and makes it very simple for novice growers. When you take a plant out replace it with a clone in a one gallon pot. Simple as that.
It is no secret. I suggest you do some google searches about the cuban indoor marijuana business in Florida . There are quite a few newspaper articles written all about it.
Here are some old pics of the cartoon network era. Funny to think that back then Diesel weed was just a New York city legend. Hardly anyone including me had ever smoked diesel weed at that time. Boy did that sure change.

Here is some random post that came up on the google search. It is basically true. Some of it is opinion but the rest is true.

"Despite not being really considered a Elite Strain, The OG Black Haze is probably one few pure haze that still exists in its origanal form....no backcrossing, crossing, or fems..So many people in miami have this cut that is heritige will never be lost..now that i think about i really cant recall another pure haze that exists in this way today where people can still get there hands on a cut of the origanal genetics....maybe the few that skunkman might have or some people out in holland, but this cut has been floating around miami for over 20+ years in its origanal form, and ive been smoking it for over 18+ years....Even though a ton of people in miami have this cut.....its really only shared amongst people in the latin american community, and if your not one of them its really hard to get your hands on this cut!
I really dont know to much of the background but im sure it was brought here from somewhere in s. america, cuba, or the carribean, but its the first choice strain with the commercial growers in miami. Personally, not only is this a TRUE COMMERCIAL YIELDER but its is THE MOST POTENT POT ive ever smoked to this day...Even Now, I prefer to buy this weed over my own weed, not only the stuff i grow but my friends grow both too, and i prefer the blacks over any cut ive ran! In Miami, not only do we have our Black haze in origanal form, but we have a OG Silver Haze, not SSH but the real Old School Silver Haze which has been floating around this area for 20+ years as well. Hands down the Black Haze is prefered over the silver haze 9 times out of 10...just to tell you how good this pot is!
This cut takes 90-120 days.."
Western Winds is just Sagarmathas version of "Kali Mist" by Serious Seeds. It isn't the nyc haze. nyc haze is clone only. One of them cubans could make a fortune by making fem'd seeds with it though.
if i find any landrace seeds i keep em pure. we don't need any more crosses lol.
