Vitamin N

The average cigar has as much or more nicotine than a pack of cigarettes. But as others have said, the absorption rate is much lower. Most cigar smokers do not inhale, but we do hold smoke in the mouth and nicotine gets into the bloodstream that way. Cigarettes are like syringes, just a delivery system for the nicotine and whatever other chemicals that have been added.
There is an excellent History/Discovery documentary on the making of cigarettes.
