lets now forget that almost everything in a room where people smoke cigarettes will start to reek. Ever been in a hotel room where smoking is allowed. The bedding, curtains and everything else in the room are filled with the smell of stale smoke. I can see the grill cloth of a speaker in such a room having a smell to them that you would then bring into your home if you bought them.

Cigarette smoke makes your speakers stink dude!!!

You got that right. Even more so for electronics. It's amazing - I can usually perdict the chances of the previous owner getting lung cancer by simply opening the box when the used gear is shipped to me.
