I am looking into potentially starting a small-scale tobacco farm. My plan would be to grow the tobacco on my land, cure it, process it, and then bag it with the intention of selling it as cigarette tobacco by the pound. Where I am running into confusion are the laws on private sales of tobacco in Virginia. As I understand, you can sell it if you log your sales and pay a tax on every certain number of ounces of tobacco sold. This seems quite time consuming with the constant logging of sales. If anyone has a definitive answer and explanation on the legality of tobacco sales in Virginia I would greatly appreciate it.
