coolidor plastic smell

[oooo35980]

All the cigars in my coolidor are in the box still. If the faint plastic smell can get through cedar boxes and corrupt my cigars I guess I'm in trouble, but right now the whole thing just smells like Cedar, so I think not. Also the cooler smells like plastic because it is plastic. It seems like the plastic smell would just keep coming back as long as you leave the cooler empty and the only way to get rid of it completely would be to let the plastic absorb some other smell. I could be way off though that just makes sense to me.

Edit: Holy resurrected thread!

All you need to do is grab some newspaper, ball it up, let it sit for a day.
Throw it away and fill it up again w/ balled up newspaper. The carbon in
the newspaper absorbs the scent. (Maybe its not carbon, but you get my drift!)

its just that the paper itself is so absorbent that it will soak up all the smells too. Newspaper is pretty amazing stuff actually.


ive used this trick to take the smell out of old shoes, new coolers, fabrick lunch boxes that stink... it works well.
