Because it would cause problems with other countries, and it would be a poor business decision to miss out on an entire nations worth of customers just to include a cigar.

I'm not sure what country this is, but it's nearly as dumb as China's anti-skeleton laws.

The United States has plenty of things other nations would consider ridiculous. It is simply a cultural thing. And again, it would be a poor business decision indeed to ignore the culture of their customers.

Yet they put this on the esrb, AND let gragas keep his cigar?

Where is Gragas's cigar in his default skin splash art?

Riot explained this when they removed the cigar. Default Skins are treated as the "core" of the game, and they have to follow certain rules if they want to be allowed in different countries. Non-default skins and supplemental content (such as the video you're referencing) are not part of the "core", and are ignored by many of these rules.

That's not his DEFAULT skin. That's the distinction here! There's nothing ruling out Graves having a Cigar in his next skin!

Because he looks mildly suggestive with his theme.

I'm willing to bet it has something to do with Chinese overlords and their cultural rules we find silly, just like the displayal of bones/skulls.

Who cares? It doesn't affect gameplay. It's a decision they made. It's fine. It doesn't hurt you in any way.
