So I pulled out my squirt bottle, squirted some rubbing alcohol on a napkin and began cleaning the bezel and shell with it. Sure enough--it got rid of some of the smell! At least, it doesn't reek of cigar as much.

I think I'll use the rubbing alcohol a few more times.
I wonder what a nest of DRY pot pourri would do for it? After you do what you can with the rubbing alcohol.
