Shares of $BTI-4.9% and $MO-3.1% formed new ATH today. Both stocks are up over 25% year to date and also pay a dividend of over 7%. I had both $BTI-4.9% and $MO-3.1%in my portfolio until the beginning of the summer . I sold $BTI-4.9% and kept $MO-3.1% as I trust Altria and don't need more than $BTI-4.9% and two tobacco stocks in my portfolio.
What about you? Do you prefer $BTI-4.9% or $MO-3.1% and why?

I prefer $BTI-4.9% as it pays a higher dividend.
I have both stocks in my portfolio and have made a nice profit on them. I'm thinking of buying more $PM-7.1%.
The dividend payout is high, but I don't know where the company can grow. Eventually people will get tired of tobacco or the government will ban it.
