Title Statement	Title - Tobacco field
General Note	General note - In 1781 the Spanish government declared a state monopoly on the cultivation, manufacture, and sale of tobacco. The Cagayan Valley and part of Nueva Ecija were designated as tobacco regions; other places were not allowed to grow the crop. At harvest time, cultivators were required to deliver all their produce to a government agent who graded the leaf, paid for it at government-dictated prices, and destroyed whatever was not bought. The leaf was then taken to state-owned factories, where it was manufactured into cigars and cigarettes for export and local sale at exclusive governemnt outlets called estanquillos.
