    How have you guys handled insurance?

    Can't speak for the OP but I know that for myself when I had to purchase my private plan through healthcare.gov (as used to be the law before each state made their own ACA "free marketplace :ROFLMAO: " site.. it was pretty simple to see. You would select the plan with the coverage and then it...

    How have you guys handled insurance?

    Corporations are just groups of us. As are armies, governments, charities, etc.

    How have you guys handled insurance?

    In short, end of empire, nihilistic end of civilization, central banking, moral corruption and greed... sure the elites take the lionshare but we all have our own sins. I think we're definitely in the "weak men creating hard times" part of the equation.

    How have you guys handled insurance?

    Amen brother. I've always said, I believe the point of life isn't to leap across the finish line with the clean glow of youth but to crawl across it with the griseled resolve of experience and joy of knowing you gave it your all and received all you could in kind. As a wise man once sang "And...

    How have you guys handled insurance?

    This is a great, interesting question. And I have my principles, that I will PROUDLY share lmao... but this one I come to purely pragmatically. I'm a 32yo male. In (relatively) good health even though I work harder and party hardest (starting to invert those 2 these days since I hit the big 3-0...

    Well That's as Subtle as a Chainsaw...

    Lmaoo And nah, BNB actually. The funny part is all the stipulations at the bottom are correct. So the lawyers checked it but the graphic designer didn't 😂

    Probably a tyop lol. It's from an email I just received today. I still have to catch myself using 2024 on dates at work myself

    Bing! We have a winner! (well, actually we're all losers now) Though a few loyalists will still love to tell you how you're obviously being overdramatic lol

    New Interview with Per G Jensen on Mac Baren's Demise

    They def get quality leaf.. I have pounds of their stuff put back. Including a few of ones you can't get anymore. What's left may start to change now that Mark Ryan is reaching the time he previously said he'd be leaving though. Now like with STG we will have to rely on the likes of Mr...

    New Interview with Per G Jensen on Mac Baren's Demise

    It may be quality but it's produced by the same people on the same equipment as OHM and 752, whose other manufacturing is RYO supplies. I'm just saying as of about 5 years ago now they (D&R) are not an independent company anymore and the company that owns their brand is not focused on pipes...

    New Interview with Per G Jensen on Mac Baren's Demise

    I only mostly know of the ones that are also B&M/Blenders like I mentioned to put on the side for my argument's sake. Ones like Boswell, LJ Peretti, Country Squire, WV Smokeshop, Watch City Cigar, etc) that all make their own unique blends. Like my argument implied, buy from them too. Sure...

    Are we Really Losing That Much With the Closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

    Agreed, on all points. And (not to derail the thread, but it seems about played out by now anyway) to prove it goes beyond politics look into how Central Banking works... highly recommend the documentaries "Money for Nothing" & "Four Horsemen" free on YT. You'll see how it's really only in the...

    New Interview with Per G Jensen on Mac Baren's Demise

    Well really you mean Inter-Continental Trading, USA Corporation. D&R is now essentially just one of their brands along with OHM etc. But sure, fair point, they are also a producer I suppose. Just that I don't know many people that actually put OHM in their pipe haha

    Are we Really Losing That Much With the Closures of Mac Baren and Sutliff?

    From what I've been able to piece together Newminster is done. (Since it was basically intended to replace PS while it was out of the US market. So for while we've had both, with some unique blends and others that overlap.) Now PS is supposedly made by STG in Denmark already so prob "safe" for...

    Just in from STG/MacBaren/Sutliff

    On backordered sutliff tobacco. They just took the backordered Sutliff (I'm assuming they now know they won't get anymore) off their site today. I already placed my order on a previous one a few weeks ago. Now time to see if I get my refund like the one I still didn't get for my returned pipe 3...

    New Interview with Per G Jensen on Mac Baren's Demise

    Yeah I mostly agree with all that. My difference would be while I'd say I don't believe anyone should be forced to support American jobs (especially if the quality of their output is inferior) tho I personally believe if at all possible/reasonably convenient, one should. I do have a sense of...
