One of the assumptions about nuclear winter scenarios is that the weapons go off over populated areas.  I am skeptical that the resulting firestorms would put smoke high enough into the atmosphere to cause long term change.

One way to find out.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If brains were dynamite, King Salman couldn't blow his nose.

So . . . his brains may still be quite sizable then?
