What kind of cigar would you be?

So this morning I was pulling a fresh pair of pants out and noticed on the tag that they said "made in honduras", which made me chuckle and think for a second "so if I was a cigar I'd have a honduran wrapper?" During the day at work I just kind of kept musing on this and decided to start this thread.
Take anything you want... what you're wearing (color, texture, etc...), your skin color (sun grown? shade?), what you ate for lunch (this one could really mix things up! )... whatever, really... and use it to come up with a blend for yourself. Maybe if one of them sounds really good we could nudge CCOM into naming a house blend after you! I have to run to get to class, but I'll post my blend when I get back.

For starters, I'm somewhat of a thickly built guy, so my ring gauge would be no less than 60, but I'm not short so I'd be 6.5-7 inches long.. I work in the sun a lot, so my wrapper would have to be a spicy Rosado, and to round out the me blend, inside would be a complex mix of fillers that would likely be described as woody and nutty with a bit of espresso thrown in for good measure, and it would be bold and peppery, so much so that you'd have a hard finishing it.
OK, I think I've wrapped myself up in a cigar (pun intended).

I'm a little above the middle of the line when it comes to build, 5'7" and pretty solid frame... no football player shoulders or anything, though.. so probably I'd be a robusto grande 5.5x55 or so. I wear mostly darker clothes, and am half-Pakistani, so maybe a Sumatran maduro wrapper? Then again I look pretty much like a well-tanned white dude, so maybe barber-pole that and a Connecticut sun-grown wrapper? Throw in some ligero filler for my energetic, playful, active and rough-and-tumble side, but balance it out with some milder... let's say Dominican and Nicaraguan... for my everyday laid-back side.
Maybe make me a box-pressed stogie for being a square... heh...
Well I just happen to be my favorite cigar type. A Por Larranaga Petit Corona. I am not a big guy (5'6" 180) and usually tan, but not dark in complextion. I am really easy going and strive to please. But deep down inside I am really complex and there is a lot too me. And just like the cigar; I get better with age.

Yeah Joe, you are getting expensive. Lets see, A "very special" blend of nutty fillers and woody binders, a exceptionally aged wrapper (that was my own joke, and I dont know you Joe), extra padded coffin box (with a window), individually wrapped inside a bigger box.
As for me, I am fairly tall 6'1", and have much broader shoulders than lower body, so perhaps a 6" -7" Piramid. If you dont know me, I may be a bit reserved with you at first. Of course once I open up, its game on. I've also been accused of having a sweet side. I also love the sun and beach so lets say i'd have a mix of Dominican and Nicuraguan fillers, bound by a sun grown leaf and wrapper from lets say,... I dont know somewhere. Oh yeah, and I'd be complex. No one could read me like a book. ha ha.
