Here is a photo of the Ye Old Chicago Tobacco Company.  This store had everything from cigar roller that would roll custom cigars to all sorts of pipes, bongs, hookahs, and other smoking paraphernalia that certainly wasn't used for tobacco.  In fact one of the gentlemen looking into the display wrote me several years ago.  He said they were very specifically shopping at Ye Old Chicago Tobacco Company for a nice pipe to consume some weed in.  Despite his younger dalliances with what was then an illegal substance in the state of Illinois he turned out well becoming a nice and respectable accountant.
