Yeah,from the looks of the picture you'd think the wrong end was lit. Bt no, the ends are the same on both sides. So when one side was cut, it made it look kind of backwards. But I can assure you I know whch end is which. I think I've done this a few times before.Hey Cliffie3d, I didn't even notice the end looked like a mouth. Nice perception. It actually was speaking to me that night. I haven't tried the maduro's yet. Any significant difference?
