An interesting point of history:

2nd

“Throughout the entire XVIII century, the system of relationships
between tobacco traders and the state has been constantly changing. After
the system of redemption in 1727, free trade was established with a tax of 1
penny from a pound of tobacco when sold domestically. From 1749 to 1762
again introduced the purchase. And only Catherine II restored free trade
without tax inside the country, but for that the duty was established for 10
kopecks per pound on imported and 20 kopecks for exported tobacco. It was
these measures that stimulated the development of tobacco growing in the state.
In 1839, according to the
"Regulations on Excises from Tobacco", excise was removed only from
manufacturers producing tobacco products, and the culture of the tobacco plant
remained free from payment of an additional tax. That is, the planter had
the right to use without paying excise duty tobacco for his own use, but
provided that a simple knife is used for crumbing tobacco leaves. At that
time in Russia there were about 120 factories. Finally, the relationship
between the tobacco industry, the state and consumers in the Russian Empire was
formalized in 1882, when the sale of leaf tobacco from plantations was banned
directly to the consumer….” (History of
