My great-grandfather used to smoke 6-8 cigars a day, including time behind the wheel. After he passed away (at 93) in '85, my uncle bought his last car. A '73 Cadillac Sedan DeVille bought new and off the road in '82. IIRC it had 40K miles on it. (It was brown, probably the only reason I didn't lust after it as a then-15yo kid
).
It looked like it had yellow tinted windows.
It took about a year for the smell to mostly go away with the less-than-extensive cleaning my uncle gave it and the extreme amount of residue that covered the interior.
There is hope for you and it shouldn't take anywhere near as long!
