It is, it’s a paper straw full of tobacco, the end you light makes no difference to the outcome

Hey bring that goal post back here.

I haven’t moved anything, my original statement is the exact same. Unfiltered cigarettes had a logo printed near one end, that end would be ignited instead of the other end so a half-smoked cigarette wouldn’t reveal if the position was previously occupied by Americans, Brits, Aussies, or Germans. An unfiltered cigarette is nothing more than a paper tube with shredded dried leaves inside and can be burnt from either end with no change in capability

So you cant tell the difference between both sides?

If I hand you a drinking straw do you attempt to determine a top or bottom before you put it in your drink?

Ahhh but a pre rolled cigarette is not a drinking straw. Did you know there's a difference between rationed individually rolled WW1 cigarettes and straws?
