Q: i never smoke, bike 10 mi/day & drink only h2o. however, tried a < 1 cheap cigar over 2 weeks ago, didn't inhale. will this show up in nicotine testing?

Nicotine: I don't think there is an answer for this. The "i did not inhale" does not usually mean there was no nicotine exposure. So, I am not sure what the test will detect, but i would be prepared for it to be positive.
