You could, but that’s not what it’s intended for. Pipe tobacco is shredded differently, and I think it might be flavored, but I’m not sure.
pipe tobacco is more loosely cut than cigarette tobacco and has a different burn quality. You can use pipe tobacco but it requires you to constantly be puffing on it.

The world may never know!
Pipe tobacco is cut more coarsely. This will leave more air pockets when used for cigarettes. It also does not burn as evenly.
For obvious reasons, many bulk tobacco companies are now promoting pipe tobacco alongside cigarette tobacco. While it is coarser cut, the samples I’ve received were actually drier than the cigarette tobacco I’ve been loading into tubes for years.
Unfortunately, the few pipe blends I’ve tried all taste like pipe tobacco, which obviously has nothing to do with their cut. A more definitive answer is required here…
The blends are different, pipe tobacco is treated with a food based casing that gives it the flavor and aroma. Pipe tobacco is not cut as fine as cigarette tobacco. Cigarette tobacco is treated with a batch of chemicals. I would suggest you smoke a pipe, and just skip out on trying to roll your own cigarettes.
