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).

Thanks, all.
Doc, it was actually cutting cigars that got me thinking about this. I've been cutting some lanceros in half at times and have been convinced that the two halves taste different than a whole. Taking into account that there are a LOT of variables that affect the way an individual cigars tastes, I still feel that there is a difference.
