Haven't fallen down the pipe slope yet... but I have come across a cigar version of a cigarette holder and it is made of Meerschaum. Looking for any tips on cleaning Meerschaum figured this would be the place to post. Thanks for any advice you have
:-)

I don't think you clean meers. Just wipe them out/off and that's about it, they are so porus that any chemicals would be absorbed into the stone and could potentially cause problems later.
Wipe them with a bit of beeswax to protect them and that's about it AFAIK.

Cleaning the inside or outside?

Inside I figured just run a few pipe cleaner straws through but its got some staining on the outside at the end... probably from cigars being smoked to a nub and its got an amber mouthpiece I figured just disinfectant and a damp cloth on that part
