Deodorizing Skunky Mugs - General Tiki

As I was opening the box I was struck by how funky everything smelled: the newspaper padding, the bubble wrap and the mugs. I dutifully washed and dried the mugs. Nope, they still smell. I've tried soaking them for days in water, but they always emerge smelling the same. Is this what mugs from a cigarette smoking household smell like? Oh right, silly me, you can't smell them as the smell feature has been disabled in this forum... Anyone have good tips on deodorizing these suckers? Thanks, SV
