BAT is very cheap compared to some firms that make losses year in, year out even after selling land, landing slots, planes, etc. BAT pays solid (generally increasing) dividends & has done so for decades.

In the village I spoke with octogenarian who bought 1000 BAT shares in 1967.. Since then he's been enjoying dividends among other benefits. ...He didn't know how lucrative this stock could become later on .He would've scooped more for the children of his children.

@Spikes,did u ask him the buying price at that time.?
Other good stocks in those years were standard chartered bank,
barclays,bamburi and NMG.Those who took long term positions are now rich.
Currently if someone choose from Equity,Kcb,Co-op and Safaricom for long term,he will be wealthy.
