Back Porch Lounge Show EP55 - Inside Haze Gray with Pedro & Val

Welcome back to The Back Porch Lounge Show — where community, craftsmanship, and conversation converge. In this week’s episode we sit down with founders Pedro and Val of Haze Grey Cigars to dive into the story behind their boutique brand, explore the unique characteristics of their blends, and celebrate the camaraderie that fuels the modern cigar culture. We discuss the Patriot (a double Maduro with Nicaraguan binder and filler) and the Admiral (Nicaraguan Habano wrapper), and unpack how each delivers a rich, evolving flavor profile. We also break down the often-confusing plume vs. mold topic, helping newcomers understand how to identify quality and protect their investment. Pedro and Val share how their brand mission honors military service and builds community through mobile lounge events and a women’s cigar night. Whether you’re new to the scene or a seasoned enthusiast, this conversation offers insight into pairing, education, boutique craftsmanship and connection. Hit play, join the lounge, and share this episode with your crew.
