I used to smoke Black and Milds exclusively, and you would have found me out in the rain smoking mine. I was completely addicted to them. And of course there's no pharmacological reason to think that cigars or pipes would be less addictive than any other form of tobacco. The reason that you don't see people smoking them as often is that they aren't the social norm for smoking in public.

If you want a way to take in nicotine with lower risk of addiction, get an e-cig.
