Joints for Sativas?

Hello. My friend told me recently (even more experienced smoker than myself) that the way to get the best effects of sativa fire is to light up joints. Is there any relevance to that statement or is it just a matter of preference? I can see the mildness of the joint being a factor but I'd like to open it up to you all (I'm sure someone has the nitty gritty details on this). Thanks! :)
