Here's a joint I rolled several years ago in Santa Cruz while attending UCSC. It features some of BushyOldGrower's Bogglegum - a very tasty smoke indeed!
Official Entry:
To give you an idea on the crutch that I installed on the above masterpiece... It's of the "accordion" variety. Though this one was also a very fine smoke, rolled in the Brazilian aLeda King Size cellulose paper, the above entry rolled with Hempire 1.25" is indeed my official submission... because it was better!
Oddly enough, this one did take a greater level of technical mastery in joint rolling, as the cellulose paper tends to curl upon itself and is very slippery, and therefore can be quite difficult if not downright frustrating to work with. All the same, that Hempire torpedo holds a special place in my heart.

That's exactly what I do... I typically have a 3" x 5" note card laying around and cut out a rectangular strip that's about 4 or 5 times as long as it is wide. Then I bend it up /\/\/\/\/ (without creasing) and lightly compress it to slide it into the end of a finished joint. It should fit in the joint so that there is still 1 - 2 mm of joint paper overhang. As you postulated, the springiness will allow for easy placement and also to keep it in place. For added security, twist closed the lighter-end of the joint and take a draw on the sealed product to "fit" the joint paper snugly around the accordion.
There are a several reasons I do this:- It keeps the mouth-side of the joint open for solid smoke-flow regardless of sloppy smokers or tar build up.
- It acts as a stop on the end of the joint to prevent any weed from falling through (as may happen with an open "C" crutch).
- It allows the smoker to finish all the weed without having to worry much about burning their fingers or using a roach clip.
- It is durable, will not fall out (when implemented appropriately), and is resistant to being crushed.

Whoa whoa, let's all take a rip and chill the funk out. What's there to take offense?
As we don't have the luxury of watching the act of rolling on here (unless one of you freaks wants to post a YouTube! ), this contest will naturally default toward "most aesthetically pleasing joint". Of course, I think Harry makes a reasonable point that to actually be the "best joint roller", one must excel in efficiency as well as the visible and smokeable quality of their finished product.
The title of this thread is a little misleading since we are forced to judge primarily upon the visual aspect of the finished product including any related commentary that may be offered up - instead of the actual act of rolling and smoking the joint. But there's surely no reason to get upset about someone else's opinion. Everyone is entitled to one and differences should be respected even where we may not agree.
I sincerely doubt Harry meant anything negative by his posts. He was just being pragmatic about the whole thing.

True, but in all fairness, I designated only one as my official submission!

Maybe we should have voted on having a vote before having a vote!
