Does length affect flavor?

It goes without saying that RG has a tremendous affect on cigar flavor. For nearly any blend, a toro tastes much different than, say a lancero of same blend. But, what about same blend and same or nearly same RG in different lengths? I have often thought that smoke traveling up through the cigar must impart some of the flavor changes as a cigar progresses. But, I must admit that my immature pallete has rarely been able to tell much difference in similar RG's, regardless of length. Thoughts?
