You know why I like the cigarette industry? They make a product for a quarter and sell it for a dollar, it's more addictive than heroin, smoking is the new black in the developing world, the dividends are fat and reliable, and there's fanatical brand loyalty. MO is an ATM, and at 20 bucks a share, it's practically a gift.
