Does length affect flavor?

Yuppers.

I take it for granted that the length affects the flavor but I don't ever think about that aspect when it comes time to pick out a smoke. Longer ones just take longer to smoke, that's all.

I enjoy smaller RG's sometimes and bigger RG's some other times. For me it depends on the cigar maker and if i have had that cigar before. If i have not had something from a brand, i will usually tend to try a bigger RG.
