Why doesn't pastrami at home taste as good as a deli?!

Question: I buy Carnegie Pastrami at Costco. Carnegie is reputed to be the best deli in New York. How can I make their packaged pastrami taste as good as in the restaurant?

Good stuff. I heated mine up in the oven not the Microwave. Heat at 200 for 5 minutes or so. The difference is that Deli is fresh cut and not packaged.

I have also put in my smooker for a few minutes and that helped as well.

Even the in-store sandwich is not so good.Maybe it needs to be steamed like in the deli??
