I received a few antique-shop pipes from my mother-in-law this Easter. One of them is a pressed meerschaum pipe about which I decided "dammit, I'm going to smoke it anyway." It seems like it will absorb moisture well. It has a few superficial cracks on the exterior, but I don't really care about those because of my above statement.
The problem is that it smells of mildew. There are also visible spots on the inside of the pipe. How would I go about tackling this sort of cleanup?
