Despite the hatred out there for dreaded tobacco, Altria continues to prosper. People will continue to use tobacco products -- across the globe -- as well as eat cheese! Maybe that's why it's been, and will continue to be, a winner.

This has always been a cash monster and with the recent dip due to the certification of the "Lights" class, it's a perfect time to buy. Looking ahead, it looks like they'll split the company and unlock the value of the international tobacco operation...

Consistent growth and great dividend producer. Currently beaten down a bit in the market by lawsuits, but has shown great resilience to legal troubles in the past. With a potential spin-off of 2 or 3 separate companies, it appears ready to continue...

A $100 stock at $85. Kraft is significantly undervalued b/c it's within a tobacco company with all the litigation concerns that that entails. Management is expected to spinoff the international division (a solid growth stock) and Kraft (which would...

Tobacco is just a cash cow. They're expanding overseas. Reasonable P/E and nice dividends! Litigation problems mostly over. People are just going to smoke regardless of how the economy is doing.

The valuation is the best part of this company. P/E lower than the Dow industrials, a healthy 5% dividend, and plenty of staples in their portfolio to expand domestically and abroad. The improving litigation environment for tobacco is also of favor. ...

I do love a steadily growing company, and MO's a perfect illustration of such. As long as it continues providing consumers with a plethora of basic goods, from food to other grocery items to, yes, even those darn cigarettes, it'll continue to thrive...
