The reason is obvious
Cigars are hand made, wrapped by hand with full leaves, and cigarettes were not. Even if hand rolled, the paper is pretty uniform and the tobacco is shredded and cut in a fashion to facilitate hannd rolling. I know, I roll my own. You can't tell one cigarette ash from the next by looking. Holmes could look at the ash in the ashtray and tell you what kind of cigar left it.
