There are a couple topics on here (in the DIY section) that I've seen. Personally I've done it a couple times, didn't work out all that much. What I did was take American Spirit cig tobacco, 1/2 cup of apples, and a 1/2 tbsp each of glycerin and molasses, boil them up to reduce the liquid, and attempted to smoke.. did not work so well. i had some extra that i let dry out a bit more, and even that was bad. tasted like cigarettes, apple flavor was nonexistent.

You'd do best with raw leaf, or at least mild pipe tobacco, and much more concentrated flavor. Boil/press dry the tobacco then add everything and smoke.
