There really isn't an equivalency because of the way they're smoked. When you smoke cigarettes you inhale, so you get all the good carbon monoxide and other fun chemicals in your lungs, and into your blood. Plus, cigarette smoke is acidic and it seems that pH affects the addictive quality of nicotine.

How much nicotine is absorbed from a cigar if not inhaled?

When smoking a cigar without inhaling, a smoker can still absorb nicotine through the mucous membranes in the mouth. Depending on the size and type of cigar, an individual can absorb varying amounts of nicotine, typically ranging from 1 to 3 milligrams per cigar. However, since cigars generally contain more tobacco than cigarettes, they can deliver a higher nicotine dose overall, even without inhalation. The actual amount absorbed can vary based on factors like the smoker's technique and the cigar's composition.
