Kermin, even though I would go with MO for the next 10 year stock. Another one you might consider that could beat them over 10 years is SBSI. Current yield of 3.08% and this isn't including their large dividend that they pay in December of every year. Last Dec the dividend was $0.53. Also they pay a 5% stock dividend each year. So you're getting a greater than 10% dividend. A few things to consider is that this is a very small cap stock (less than $500 million) and this is a bank stock. One that can possibly beat MO over the next 10 years, but it does have a lot more risk than MO. Weird to say that a cigarette company is a safer stock.
