Does the cold effect strength/flavor?

I would guess, if it affects you, it has something to do with your body chemistry and not the cigars. In the cold, the body's enzymatic processes slow over 10%, sometimes 20% per degree of temperature below optimum. Slower chemical function, repair, and disposal of local and environmental toxins puts the body below expected function.

But wouldn't that mean that the nicotine would effect me more? The experiences I have had, the nicotine effect and/or flavor is less.

Maybe by the body slowing down, you don't use up your all your blood-sugar so fast. As to the flavor, psychosomatic?
