You might try leaving the humidor open for a long time... months. Then give the wood a light sanding and close the box for a couple of weeks with a humidification source. See if you detect a odor. If so, you will have to use the box for another purpose. The problem is the cedar inside the humidor is porous and designed to absorb from it's surroundings. With the prices the way they are, You need the best storage device available to you.

You really CAN'T remove the burnt cigar smell. If you like saving half-smoked cigars to finish at another time, get a new humidor for unsmoked cigars, and use this one for the half-smoked ones.

Try putting the cigar in a closed container with a slice of bread. The bread should humidy the container, which should make the cigar take in water, which should soften the tobacco leaves in it.

stick dryer sheets in your dresser and in your closet.

add. If it is a room in which smokers have indulged for some weeks or longer, then the tobacco tars will be impregnated into the furnishings and wall surfaces. A complete clean and re-paint or re-decorate may be necessary.

It really depends on the type of box and what it is made from but the generic answer would be to clean it thoroughly and then let it air out for a week or two. Leaving it open in the sun filled or warm room may also help it along. If the aroma is still present then pack it with aromatic fruits like an orange blended with an aromatic herb such as sage or an apple with cinnamon sticks nearby. The combination should rid the box of any odor of tobacco but bear in mind that since the box took on the aroma of tobacco, it may also take on the aroma of whatever you put into it to rid it of that odor. Just be sure to fill it with something that is pleasant smelling to YOU. Some people might prefer a scent of mint or of flowers or none at all. If none, then the original thought might work best for you. Leave it open and allow the air to rid it of odor.
