Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the almond flour, sugar, flour, cream and salt. Increase the heat to medium and cook until hot, about 5 minutes. Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes, or until the it thickens slightly.
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop the batter onto the parchment paper by the heaping teaspoonfuls spaced well apart, baking about 4 cookies to a cookie sheet.
Bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until cookies are well spread and bubbling.
Slowly peel up the edge of a cookie after it has sat on the cookie sheet for about 2 minutes.
Using a chopstick or wooden spoon handle, quickly wrap the cookie around the form. Hold for 30 seconds and then slide the cookie off the form. Repeat with remaining cookies. If cookies become too rigid from cooling, place them back in the oven for 2 minutes and try rolling again.
Repeat with remaining cookie batter. Allow the cigars to cool completely before dipping them in chocolate.
Cover a work surface with waxed paper or parchment paper. Melt the 4 ounces of chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals until smooth (or melt over low heat on the stove top). Place the sprinkles in a small bowl. Dip one end of each cigar into the chocolate and then into the sprinkles.
Sprinkle a pinch of black pepper over the chocolate-dipped end. Place the cookies on the prepared work surface and allow the chocolate to set, about 2 hours.
Store the cookies in an air-tight container to keep them crisp.
Notes
Be extra careful when peeling the cookies from the hot cookie sheet and and rolling the hot cookies onto the chopstick or spoon handle.
