Picked up a '77 Vette for a song a few years back. The car was damn near perfect except the only problem was it reeked of cigarette smoke. Nothing, and I mean nothing, would get it out. I stripped the interior and replaced the carpet and leather seat covers. Still stunk. Finally pulled the air conditioning ducts and took all the plastic trim and washed them in a cleaner containing butyl. Did it over the bath tub and brownish oil poured off of them and the color went back to the original buckskin. No more stink. Had to the same thing with an old High Power a couple years ago because the grips were permeated with some Austrian cops smoke.
Good luck. You may need the services of a dry cleaner on this one.

Buy a motorcycle and ride it as often as possible, and each time you ride it be sure to strap those holsters on. Especially ride in the rain as much as you can. After a couple of years the cigarette smoke smell will be gone. Worked for me with an old leather jacket I used to wear when I smoked two packs a day.

I collect cigarette filters for fun and getting the smell out of them is almost impossible.

"fun" as in cheap and flamboyant, earplugs or tampons?

Amazing thread. I used to smoke, and my wife still does so it doesn't bother me. If all the advice you've gotten here fails to make the leather smell like you'd like it to, put it in a smoker with mesquite wood and pretend you're back in the old west. It might not have that 'new car' smell but you could explain it better.

Holy cow Bucky...is that a comma in one of your sentences? I'm impressed...although it would have worked better after "fun"..

You avoided my question earplugs or tampons?

I see you still need grammar assistance and you call yourself a writer. Is this the best you can come up with?
Avoid contractions in formal writing. I'm = I am You are showing your lack of skills careful we do not want anyone to find out

Again you write in sipobabble. So far you can not spell. You grammar is whack and your prose blows. Plus you reply in weasel worded retorts.

Holy cow, PDL! You'd put a '77 Vette in a smoker!?

Do those filter/tampons cause Toxic Shock Syndrome?

Bill

Stuff some bread slices into them and leave overnight and replace the bread slices until most of the smoke odor is gone.

Then spray with lysol disinfectant and air dry.

Bucky, you kill me....you have no idea how funny you are when you criticize writing without any syntax or punctuation. Really, it's hysterical.

I am just jerking your chain. You obviously do not understand punctuation… Is your use of periods Morse code?… Is your version of syntax Sippobabble… Do you have stuttering issues? Dot dot dot…I joke around while you criticize and use innuendoes with weasel words. Then when the going gets tough you whine. Whining is not a manly thing to do. Sip man up

I know you are sticking those cigarette butts someplace. So again I ask
"fun" as in cheap and flamboyant, earplugs or tampons?

They are called ellipsis....don't hurt yourself looking them up.

You-guys...are, killing--me.

"Syntax"... I thought you meant "Sin Tax".

That's a relief.

I thought Uncle Sam was making all the Hookers add a "Sir Charge" to their services.
