I sympathize. I have had a similar problem. If the seller did not advertise the fact that it came from a smokers house, you can get a case opened on E'Bay. I did. It's a vile smell. I think the hanging outside and a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and baking soda solution. Try an inconspicuous area first! Other ideas are-lavender essential oil diluted in warm water-shake mixture well (oil sits on top of water) and (again on an inconspicuous area), clean leather-don't saturate it! Helped me!

Removing Cigarette Smell on a Leather Satchel

My daughter purchased a small leather satchel at a flea market. Unfortunately the prior user must have smoked as it reeks. Any suggestions for removing the smell? A shoe repair person suggested diluting Lestoil with water and rubbing. Will this work? Damage the leather?

The best odor remover of all is sunlight. I once bought a great tote bag that was perfect except that it smelled strongly of smoke. I put in on my lawn in the sun, turned it occasionally, then turned it inside out and flipped it. Within two days, the smoke odor was completely gone never to return.

This is just a thrifty tip. One person can eat a meal on the cost of one pack of cigarettes. You can start a collage fund for a child on a months cost of cigarettes. At five dollars a pack (some states charge more) you could put 150 on your mortgage every month and get your house paid off sooner and save interest. Cigarettes equal new bikes, new shoes, summer camp, Automobile tires, car insurance, eye glasses, music lessons, and much, much more.
