It's also the satisfying ritual of going to the tobacco shop near me. There's a crowd of 'locals' that hang around the tobacconist chatting and smoking on a weekend day, almost like a pub type atmosphere. Then looking at all the pipes and various blends of tobacco, thinking what shall I try today, probably akin to going to the sweetshop when I was a kid and getting 1/4 pound bag of sweeties.

When I first came here I still rolled my own. Until too many people assumed I was smoking pot.
Haven't rolled since.
Still smoke.
Cigarettes.

My daughter works in a pipe & tobacco shop down here. Its nice, but a bit like a "Republicans Club" with pictures of Limbaugh all over the place.
They have a big leather couch in front of a flat screen TV with at least 2 or 3 large, bald, smokers parked in front of it at any given time.

The words nice and pictures of Limbaugh just don't go together

Ok, you got me there.

Re-phrase:

The smell is very nice.
The decor is spoiled by Limbaugh's mug plastered on the walls.

Continue.
