Cigar tobacco is not the same as pipe tobacco, that said, its not like the combo of both hasn't been done before(McClellands Dominican Glory comes to mind right away). To make your own pipe tobaccos, you'd need a shredder to get leaves down into ribbons. I would assume many have tried tweaking their own blends by mixing certain tins with others, or adding a touch of straight perique or something to that effect to the tin, but I haven't heard of anyone processing and tinning their own.
