The straightforward answer is : Yes, it is legal to grow tobacco in the US. As for other nations, I do not know, but I might think so. Some states need a permit to grow it, and you would need to check with your local municipality to work out if you need one. If you decide you need to sell your own tobacco, regardless of what state you are in, you will need to fill out some bureaucracy ( aka permits and tax info ), but for the needs of this article, we’re going to assume that you are just growing it for yourself and some select mates.
Another question I am asked a lot when it comes to growing tobacco and rolling cigars ( growing in particular ), is why even trouble. Isn’t it a lot simpler to go to the store and get a cigar. Isn’t it quicker? Isn’t the quality better?
The list of questions goes on and on. If you have that many questions, chances are your first instinct is right : growing and rolling your own tobacco is not for you. I feel the same way about people that raise their own fish, fastidiously watching its diet and growth, then frying it up a fortnight later.
