I've never seen them before, but from your description, sounds like real poppers to me. Not the kind you buy in a bookstore, but the medical poppers. Poppers were originally used to treat heart problems (don't ask me how, that is a question for Dr Danny). Just as the fake ones do, they lower the blood pressure. Just like people who take nitroglycerin for chest pains, medical poppers were used to lower blood pressure. The name poppers derives from that fact they are in a glass vial that you "snap" (or pop) in half and wave under the nose.....like smelling salts.
My guess is he is in the medical field and obtained a supply of the real thing.
