I was rolling my own before I quit, a lot cheaper and better tobacco. It was also Mas Macho! And, just as glamorous as smoking in general.
Sometimes when you're driving along, notice smokers in other cars.........Most of them look pretty cool, some even down right glamorous. Look also at other smokers teef and hands, you cannot buy makeup that looks as realistic as nicotine stains nor can you buy perfume or cologne as attractive as stale tobacco smoke.
I quit over 7 years ago and still wake up occasionally wanting a smoke.
You quit smoking at 63? Seems like at that point I'd just keep on enjoying the cool freshing feeling from a smoke. It's been 3 years since I quit and I still find myself thinking about smoking.
I quit July 15, 2006. Gained 30 lbs that I started to loose yesterday. Yes, sometimes I wake up wanting a cigarette but others smoking doesn't seem to bother me. I just miss the glamour and how intelligent you look when you smoke.
I miss blowing smoke in peoples faces as the lectured me on the dangers of looking cool.
I had never gone down that particular trail, and it started winding upwards and turning first into a deer trail, then into a, well, cliff. Plus the bluffs were still pretty moist from rains a few days before, so my little trees wouldn't hold in the ground. Now, had I any sense I would've decided early on this was a fool's game and simply retraced my steps. But Noooooo. I got it in my head that I was on a mission and had met a challenge. Pretty much a Don Quixote frame of mind. 
I heard later that my neighbors could hear my wife hollering "Jump......Jump" around that time, but didn't know what she meant! 
They even brought out the helicopter, how embarrassing.
