I've never broken a stick (no wonder, mostly pad work) yet but to me it seems logical to get a new pair in case one stick breaks - that is, if you bought matched sticks. The orphan stick would be put aside and used next time when another stick breaks. So you're either using "correct" pairs or two orphan sticks forming a pair. That's what I'm imagining I'd do.
Also, I'd roll them. The first few pairs of sticks I bought I didn't do so as I was a total beginner at that time. And the only pair of sticks which I ordered unrolled, unseen and unchecked turned out to be my favourite stick so far, with one stick being slightly warped. My store doesn't stock them so I don't have a way to eliminate warped sticks of that model, damn.
