Had MO since I started in this thread several years ago. To elaborate more on your comment, I've seen the following yearly increases to the dividend:
2012: 7.32%
2013: 9.09%
2014: 8.33%
2015: 9.62%
2016: 7.02%
2017: 8.2%
2018: 6.06%
My current yield based on what I paid (and my drips): 6.96%
Which translates from me getting 0.41 a share in 2012 to 0.70 now (well, soon). Nearly doubled!
I have a pretty nifty spreadsheet that tracks all this for my "investing 102" holdings thanks to all you guys.
