I call it a crutch. And depending on the situation ill roll it with or without. By myself, smoke on the way to work, ill roll a small one an use a crutch to keep it thick instead of toothpick stylee. But if I'm at a party, that makes it too easy for people to hoover that shit and burn a canoe out of my doob. So then I like no crutch. and if you are a shitty/dick joint smoker and like to try to smoke half of it it one hit, it just doesn't happen. Ill take a nice slow burn mid/firm roll.
Then again ill just have what she's serving thank you
