I just take A Pipe knife and gently scrape the inside after a smoke.. no heavy cleaning.. They are all Missouri Meerschaum.. All bought from the same shop and from the looks of it the same batch.. Im the only one buying the things and they sit on the floor on their little circular rack.. I have no idea how old they are but I did not think that would be a factor.. I have slowed WAYYY down on smoking them to keep them cool as I can and I did not think I was packing them too tightly.. But that must be what it is.. The ones I took on vacation faired better than those left in LA.. Never wet.. not dropped.. I even let them rest.. all of them still smoke well even the one that I first picked up that I beat to death in a month.. But I may pick my next one up from a different shop just to see..
