Meerschaum Assistance Needed

I picked up the pipe below at an antique shop over a month ago for six bucks. It has "Block Meerschaum" printed on the shank cap. I scrubbed up the pipe stem and swabbed out the airhole. And I lightly scraped out the leftover tobacco remaints in the bowl.

My problem is that the previous owner smoked vanilla flavored tobacco in this burner and I can't get rid of the ghost. I've pushed some pretty heavy lat blends through this pipe and the vanilla aroma still hangs around.
I understand salt and alcohol treatments on Meerschaums are a no-no so that also rules a retort. Does anybody have any ideas? I'd be grateful for some opinions.
Thanks.

Guys:
Whoa, Nelly.
I guess you've asked a headscratcher when the heavies weigh in.
Agreed, Bradley. I was going to noodle through my saved PMs tonight and send a link of this post to Top. I've seen pix of his Meers and figured he'd have some sound advice.
But, that said, I mean no disrespect to you, Keith. (I know how much you enjoy your Meers.) And, Cortez, thank you for taking the time to do some research on my behalf. Roth, you're rock solid as always and while I don't always agree with you there's nobody who accepts the give and take any better.
All that said, I'll bash the hell out of this pipe with burley for the next few weeks and then pack it off to Walker's for an ozone treatment if there's no improvement. Here's another wrinkle though. At the same shop, and they were side by side, I also picked up a lovely Jobey Pinch that has the same-same overall shape as my Meer although the bowl is slightly cantilevered. (In their day, Jobeys were really something before the brand started getting passed around like a used Kleenex.)
It was also a six buck burner but is easily more elegant than any other pipe in my collection. I'm not an elegant guy but I can sure appreciate a good pipe and this one burned the same damned vanilla tobacco as the Meer! It's been through two heavy duty S&A treatments and my redheaded bride still smells the McCormick vanilla she uses for cooking.
If the weather holds, I'll try a retort tomorrow night but I'm not hopeful. This one will probably be another Walker ozone hopeful.
Thanks for the feedback, everybody.

I was packing these pipes up to send to Walker for the ozone treatment when my wife reminded me that we have an ozone purifier on a garage shelf.
I placed the device in the smallest room in the house - basement bathroom - set my pipes up in front of the fan and shut the door. Five hours later the pipes were reborn. No ghost. Nothing. Just a couple of odor neutral burners.
