I could die. I could just die, and never have said outright--without hints or unspoken implications.

Beneficial. That's the main determinant for what to say and not to say. Is it beneficial? I don't fucking know.

When I've got something to offer, I make an offer. If I don't, I don't.

I must say, cohiba's reputation is not hype. This is pretty much the smoothest and most flavorful cigar I've yet had the pleasure to smoke. The burn is slow and the ash is a solid white powder.
