Been working on coloring this meerschaum lately and while I love my good ol' Va's, I've been craving cigars as of late. Been thinking on putting one in the chamber so I can kill two birds with one stone but im not sure if cigar smoke will ghost my meerschaum too much. Advice is welcome!

Probably about as much as anything else will ghost a meerschaum. Stuff is super porous, after all.
But, hey, maybe you'd enjoy a little bit of cigar in the taste of your next several smokes. I mean, I'm a filthy casual who smokes everything in my meer, and I know I enjoy a little ghosting from time to time.

I had an uncle who would drop his cigar buts into a pipe so he could smoke em. If you like cigars, I don't think a little cigar ghost is gonna hurt anything. One of my favorite blends was McClelland Dominican Glory (Maduro).

I really don't know if it will affect a Meer or not but if you really like the pipe, it is probably best to refrain from this.
