Valuable Qualities
Some things are valuable because they are rare, sir; others are valuable because they are good, but it doesn't follow that all good things are expensive.
Kensitas Cigarettes are as good as really good cigarettes can be, and they're certainly not expensive.
The value is in the quality, sir.
