The unscented kitty litter sounds like a good idea in my opinion. I personally use a box of Arm & Hammer baking soda to remove the smell from my items. My girlfriend also uses it for her vintage stuffed toys (Care Bears, Baby Face Dolls, Rainbow Brite, etc.) that she bought off ebay whenever she gets one that has a smokey odor. It works great in the refrigerator and seems to do a good job with smoke. I would try keeping it enclosed in a plastic container or bag and change it out periodically like others have mentioned in order to quicken the process.

UPDATE (believe it or not)
So I left the leather object outside in the sun for something like 3 months (since March 7). I decided to bring it back inside tonight and rinsed off all the dirt. The leather doesn't seem to have deteriorated, but the color faded only slightly on one side. The smell of tobacco, however, seems to have mostly gone away. The original leather smell is dominant right now, but I can't be completely sure as to the tobacco smell until the water dries off completely. I will be getting an updated leather item from the same tailor. This time, though, I'm going to give it the charcoal treatment, and see how that goes. |
