I don't know that I ever paid attention to it. In the winter I don't smoke outside as often, but my tastes don't change much.

I do much less experimentation in the winter. I too go with shorter sizes. Most importantly I make sure it is something I've had, really enjoy and will be worth freezing my nips off for.

My cigar preferences do not change, but smoking itself becomes a challenge with the cold weather and not being able to sit outside.

My tastes change depending on what I had for dinner, what I'm drinking, if I had a good day/bad day, etc etc. I don't think there is any change in my ever changing preferences over the winter, but it's hard to tell really.

Cold weather can change the experience of the cigar, IMO.

If it's cold enough, AND you have to smoke outside . . . I tend to smoke while driving and the windows rolled down a bit. Then I would prefer a cigar with a lot mroe intense flavor profile (more like flavor in your face), rather than something super aged that requires more concentration with your palate in order pick up what the cigar is all about.

Definately, when you're warm & cozy, you can focus all your energy & thoughts on the cigar at hand.

26-32 degrees C all year round here. No changes for me

Four days of winter! I guess you north Florida folks are lucky. Here in the swamps of SE Florida we will have one day of winter, Feb. 21, I believe.

This is when I will break out a well aged Reconquista.

I reach for my pipe more in winter.

I tend to prefer "I don't smoke cigars" in the winter. If I hit a B&M or somewhere I can smoke, I'll burn a few, but they're few and far between once it gets cold.
So far as whether my tastes change or not, I'd say yes. I like stronger stuff in the cold.
