I just received a beautiful block meerschaum that I won on Ebay, and my excitement was soon dashed when I took a whiff of the bowl and smelled the unmistakable pungent odor of a particular illicit herb. I don't judge those who partake, but I hate that anyone would ruin a pipe like that.
It isn't extremely strong, but I have a great sense of smell. I'm guessing it was only used once or twice for that herb.
Am I just out of luck, or is there a way to clean meerschaum and remove the smell?
