Second hand humidor.

good to use baking soda first. Do not use ammonia. You'll just have another smell to get rid of. Best way to bring back the nice smell of Spanish cedar is to lightly sand all the interior surfaces with a very fine 200+ grit sandpaper. Lightly sanding all the surfaces of the Spanish cedar will remove the oxidized wood fibers and allow the natural oils to be smelled again. See if that works for you. LMK

Update:
I tried the ammonia. Now I have two kinds of odors I'm up against

So, now I'm going to turn this humidor into a project. It's time for a serious overhaul. First I'll try to sand it down a bit and I wil also tro to make the box more airtight. It's always good to have something to do besides smoking cigars right?

I reckon it's going to take a while before this humdior is up and running again (if ever) so I just got hold of another Adorini where I can store my babies.
Look at this sweet thing:

This one stores about 300 sticks and should do just fine until I have a cooli or wineador set up.

Keep on keeping on folks!
