Personally, I have found cigar leaf in pipe tobacco completely out of place. When I want a cigar, I grab a cigar, not my pipe. The experience and tastes are completely different.
Yes, I have tried a couple cigar blends; from C&D, McClellands, Hermit and McConnells. I am sure there are others out there. I even had one which I blended myself - tried this a couple times - MJ liked it, but I wasn't to wild about it.
So, give them a shot if you want, but if you really want to enjoy a cigar in a pipe, simply stuff one in there. I have done that on occasion when nearing the end of a cigar that I am really enjoying. Given that it is the right ring guage for the specific pipe, sometime they fit exceptionally well by placing the head into the bowl, sometimes needing a little encouragement. Interestingly, it allows you to smoke a cigar totally to ash.
