I can't be totally certain, but I don't think it would be very long. I've dissected an octopus and several squids (although never a bona fide cuttle), and their tongues are so small, I couldn't actually find them. Of course, this might just be my incompetence... I've also heard that an octopus tongue is quite short: one paper speculate that they have a second tongue, as the first seems too short to reach into bivalve shells.
My answer, then: pretty small and short.

They live about 1 to 1.5 years, which is actually a pretty long life for a cephalopod.

70-80 thousand years depending on specimen. Some cuttlefish are rumored to have lived for as long as 100,000 years

Cuttlefish, along with squid and octopuses, are cephalopods-animals which have been trolling the oceans for more than 500 million years.
