British and American Tobacco shares have made investors fortunes for decades, and there are times when Harvey Jones rues the day he decided not to buy them. I’ve been writing for The Motley Fool for 17 years or more but in all that time I’ve never once considered buying British American Tobacco (LSE: BATS) shares. British American Tobacco has done quite nicely without my backing. The British American Tobacco share price up around 44% over one year and 70% over two. For others, British American Tobacco may still be worth considering today, especially for long-term dividend hunters.
