This paper refers to the administration of the income of snuff in Nueva Granada, its changes and permanence, from three basic stages: lease background (1744-1774), direct administration (1774-1810) and the end of monopoly during the Republic (1821-1850). For the study, we analyzed the instructions made by Manuel Guirior, Manuel Antonio Flórez, Juan Francisco Gutierrez de Piñeres, and legislation of the Republic of Colombia. When analyzing the income snuff management it was determined that despite the political legislation of the first experience of the Colombian nation, private firms monopolized the cultivation, production and marketing of the sheet before the abolition of the monopoly, due to the high profitability of the product in foreign markets.
