Set a dish of plain old ammonia in there, close the lid, and in three days any smell that existed will be gone.
Air it out for a day and you should be golden. :tu

Ammonia will take the stink out of anything and doesn't leave any residue. There's ammonia in our cigars and in our humis all the time.
It's like a perfect match. :)

If it was me, I would ditch it. I think those flavor cigars blend too quickly with your other smokes. If you want the flavored ones, I would put them in their own humi. But then again, that me.

Just a warning...
A piece of sandpaper run on the inside of most humidors amounts to three or four rubs and there's no cedar left. It's veneer, and it's paper thin.
Add to that, when you sand spanish cedar it marks up and looks like hell, especially when you cant go with the grain.
Add to that the dust is toxic, and it pretty much makes a good argument against sanding. :)
