Lincoln: dope smoking harmonica player?

[L Verge]

Call me naive, but for some reason I cannot envision Mr. Lincoln smoking anything! For one thing, cigarettes did not become popular in the U.S. until after the Crimean War, where soldiers were introduced to them. I can't see Lincoln puffing on a cigar or a pipe.

If he used tobacco in any form (and I doubt that he did), I can only think of him "having a chaw."
