Um, I have no clue if this will work, but you could try leaving the case open
over-night, or try leaving an air-freshener type thing in it... (although
I generally find the smell of air-fresheners equally vile), there are
probably commercial solutions which work better, but I'd try leaving it
open in a well-ventilated room with a fan pointing at it, and a glass
of water next to it, and a sprig of parsley inside the case, and chalk
occult markings around it on the floor, in the middle of a pentagon, with
dribbly candles, and old books on ye majique methodes of beclensing clarionette
cases, with pink floyd playing in the background, and the T.V. off...

It might work!

Yes indeed. About 2/3s of the town band here smoke... blah.

Peace,
