Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

- Shape the cookie dough into walnut-sized balls. Rolls the balls in the orange sprinkles or orange sugar, pressing to adhere. Place the cookies on a heavy cookie sheet about 4 inches apart. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven. Quickly place a chocolate kiss in the middle of each cookie. Return the cookies to the oven and bake for another 3 minutes. Cool the cookies on a wire rack.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cigars will taste. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Toast the hazelnuts before using them. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cigars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before rolling it out. This will make it easier to work with.
- Roll the cigars out thinly. The thinner the cigars, the crispier they will be.
- Bake the cigars until they are golden brown. This will take about 10-12 minutes.
- Let the cigars cool completely before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Chocolate hazelnut cigars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking.
