They do the same at the butcher/deli I go to. The will slice it to the
thickness you want and then they lay a piece of paper between the slices
so they don't stick together. Even better, they are always a lot
cheaper than the grocery store. I once paid close to $4 for enough
smoked ham to make two sandwiches. The next week the butcher had higher
quality smoked ham for $3.50 per pound.
