Loyal repeat customers and pricing power. Ethically, this is not a company I can own. But there is no denying this company is a cash-generating machine.

Big MO is well positioned to continue to profit from the tobacco industry and to reap even higher profits as marijuana is legalized for medical and eventually general use.

I Am Not And Never Have Been A Smoker Of Cigarettes . People Are Still Going To Pay The Price ( Equivalent Of What Would Pay For One Carton ) For 1 Pack Of Cigarettes Regardless Of How High Prices Climb . Even If They Can't Afford Them People Will Find The Money To Pay For Them . This Includes Ignoring The Surgeon Generals Warning On The Packs/Cartons . I Figure That This Form Of Investing In Tobacco Is Not Hazardous To My Health ;-) !

people love to smoke

Steady dividend and premier brand

Another one I just added. Solid div.

The dividend is great but with increasing pressure from governments all over and near constant litigation I don't see much more upside to MO.

Betting against Big Tobacco means betting on adolescent obedience and adult willpower -- not a strong idea, even without that fat lip of a dividend.

dividend

People keep smoking... almost 10% lower than its peak

high dividend

Addiction Stock. Low cost to make a cigarette, high profit to sell. Company is focusing on cost conscious. Government relies on the tax revenue, and with 16 trillion in debt, cigarette companies will never be banned.

Outperform

Because people will smoke, won't they?

Eudemonic picked MO

Amazing stock, amazing dividend, growth keeps coming...I don't smoke but for god sakes smokers keep SMOKING!!
