My somewhat selfish uncle has just left and he smoked a lot of cigars. The smell won't leave my leather settees and I don't know how to get rid of it! Obviously I cant stick them in the washer! Can anyone help?

you can get special leather cream cleaners which leaves alovely smell and cleans well. Also get a sign "NO SMOKING NOT EVEN IF YOUR ON FIRE". ok!

A swab down with a solution of table vinegar in water will almost certainly do the trick.
Mix it up about 1 tablespoonful to a litre of water. Test a small area first, to be sure it does not affect the surface.
I haven't tried vinegar on leather yet, but it works like a charm for most things. It is a natural deodoriser.
Of course, open the windows to let it air, too.

My sofa's I wash with a mild soap and then dry and put a restorative cream on them. They are not smokey though. I would try and get them outside it might help or ask in the leather showroom?
