What Cigar(s) Is Clint Eastwood Smoking in Western

There have been several references to Eastwood cutting the cigars to fit his pocket. Ehhh, maybe, but I do recall seeing a feature where he stated he kept them handy in numerous different lengths, for continuity's sake. He didn't want to be seen in one scene with a little nubbin in his teeth, then 20 seconds later with one 3X longer. Makes sense, and is notable that a relatively inexperienced actor (at that point) had such a good grasp of the minutiae of filmmaking.
