I work near exit 33 of I-78, so in the evening, I drive home eastbound. Right around where I-78 splits into local and express, right before where 24 merges in, there's a strong smell, at least when I'm there. It smells like very fresh tobacco. It's not really unpleasant. Maybe it's fertilizer. Is there some sort of factory there? |

It's really bizarre - I noticed it 3 years ago when I worked out there before & it's still there now.
Sometimes it smells more like pipe tobacco. Other times, wet tobbaco, or the smell of an unlit cigarette. Every so often, it smells like actual lit cigarettes. |

Where is the compost pile? I might like to swing by it, just for the fun of it. The smell is strange and compelling but not necessarily objectionable. It is strong at times. |

I believe the scientific name for that smell is "New Jersey."

Are you sure the name isn't Staten Island? |

Are you sure it isn't a 10 ton pile of burning cow manure?  |

You get the same smell driving back from "The Mall at Short Hills". I totally freaked out the first time I smelled it...I was alone in the car at night and I began to think some crazy stalker (that liked pipe tobacco) was hiding in the back seat! |
