I can attest to this. Someone here suggested the same for a few gun cases that I got from a guy who smoked cigars in the house. 10 hours in the sun and the stink is gone!
Removing Smoke Odor from a holster.........

I use unscented kitty litter for this kind of problem, I just bury the item in it and forget it for a few days.

Having just received a bunch of stuff from a late friend who smoked nasty cheap cigars in the house. Everything reeked awful of stale cigars. Someone on another forum suggested putting it the sunlight outside for a solid day. I can say it works really darn well!
First you have to clean the leather. Ever had a car that people smoked in? The film of tar and nicotine has to be removed, easy to see on the windshield.
After cleaning it off, then use one of the suggestions to remove the smell, Put in a Tupperware with baking soda and let it sit

Saddle Soap? Or maybe you can find a dog to chew it.

I am usually very good at removing stains and odors butt I have battled with and lost a few attempts along the way. Might be time to toss it and start over. Might save you a lot of grief in the long run. It sucks to throw something out just because of odor, but HECK - I gave away 3 brand new large bottles of Ballistol just because I could not take the smell.
I just ordered one. Thanks!
The holster may have been smoked on purpose. I was watching some video on medieval survival tactics yesterday. It seems that our forefathers used smoking to extend the life of not only meats, but grains, linens, herbs, and leather too.
Maybe the previous owner was a prepper and smoked the leather holster to extend its life. So, I'd trade it or give it away to be done with the aggravation.
