In relation to this length question, comparing different vitolas can be misleading as, for a given line, different length sticks of a similar RG may be made of very different leaves (different size, different priming of the plant, etc.). An easy way to understand the impact of length is to buy a pair of double coronas and then chop one of them down to robusto length. This will give you an even-playing-field impression of the effect of length (which is a combination of the cumulative impression on your palate and the build-up of residue inside the cigar as smoke is drawn through it).
