MO and JNJ seem like a good place to start.

Edit:

Lewys, I had a much longer Edit written out but don't have the time right now to say everything I'd like. From your posts over the last month it still seems you need to do quite a bit more work to internalize what it is you're trying to accomplish with your investing. Some of the statements I've read of yours are either way off base or simply not grounded in fact ( AAPL a growth company? MSFT P/E 18 as expensive? )

I'll point you to this post as basically square 1 of DGI: http://www.dividendgrowthinvestor.com/20...tocks.html

Couple that article with the spreadsheet linked above and there won't be too much room for improvement.

AAPL as a growth stock = growing dividends over time. I can't see how thats off the mark if I'm honest. I curremtly own companies with conservatove dividend growth e.g AFLAC so I wanted to invest in a company that potentially is ready to grow its dividend payments at a faster rate

Msft Shiller p/e is 18.5 so I realise its slightly over that now but its expensive considering I could potentially buy at the next dip after a rally over the last month.
