WAY off topic -- what's on the bottom of new skyrockets?

I was just passing through the Indian reservation last week and there was the biggest fireworks stand I ever saw so I had to buy some. I haven't wasted that much money on fireworks since I was a teenager. I got a box of assorted skyrockets, among other things. Half the rockets have orange plastic cones over the fuses. They weren't like that back when I was a kid. I thought maybe it was to protect the fuse, so I tried pulling them off, but they seem to be glued in tightly. I don't think they'll come out without wrecking the whole rocket. You can't light the fuse through the plastic thing, and surely they don't expect you to cut it off with a knife. Then I got to thinking maybe it's a nozzle to make the rocket work better. But that still doesn't explain how to light it. Obviously something's changed in the way they make skyrockets over the past 30 years. I even googled it on the Internet to see if there's any explanation. Anybody know what I'm supposed to do with these new rockets that have the fuse safely locked away under an orange plastic cone?
