Getting smell out of cigar tube

a buddy of mine got a cigar in hawaii, it was a coconut flavored one, it came in a nice glass tube with a plastic lid. The plastic lid has a bit of felt in it

but the felt in the lid smells like coconut still even like 3 months later, Ive mostly been trying to just let it air out.

anyone have any ideas on getting the coconut smell out of it?

and if i use it anyways will it make my cigars taste like coconut?

You might try filling the tube 1/4 - 1/2 way up with baking soda and closing it up for a few days... baking soda helps get the smell out of anything...

i suggest you follow hex's advice, or any cigar you store in that tube will taste like coconut for sure. not very appealing. :smiley1:

i'll have to try that...

have to see if i can get some baking soda from a buddy...
