UST makes the top two smokeless tobacco products: Skoal and Cope. I used to dip, and I know the loyalty consumers have to tobacco products. The value brands of dip, wine, and other ops are all thrown in for free as far as I'm concerned.

I love ginormous 4.7% yield and respectable share repurchase program.

The above are good reasons for a long term buy and hold. Frankly, I'm looking for consolidation in the space. I think UST is a prime take-over target by Altria, Imperial, or Reynolds.
