What are some of your favorite dividend stocks? I'm curious to hear your picks for those looking for buying and holding stocks for the purposes of regular income, instead of timing buy/sell cycles with more frequent trading.

These are my favorite dividend stocks that I intend to hold indefinitely, although I am leaning towards scaling out of some of the energy companies in the coming years. All held in a taxable account:

Johnson & Johnson
Coca Cola
Exxon
Chevron
Royal Dutch Shell
BP
BHP Billiton
Nike (hybrid growth + dividend play considering dividend is still low)
Nestle
Diageo
Hershey
Boeing
Philip Morris
Altria
IBM
Qualcomm
AT&T
Clorox
Glaxo Smith Kline

I also hold REITs in my IRA's for the tax advantaged income.
