I think they have printed insturctions on the wrapper

FYI, I omit the red pepper flakes.

Here is instructions for wrapping egg rolls (there's also a visual video)

That recipe looks good!
But aren't cigars rolled much thinner than egg rolls. I'm thinking of the egg rolls you get in take out places.

I thought cigars are made with spring roll wrappers.

No I make my cigarim with phyllo leaves. The good bit is they can be baked, you don't have to deep-fry it.
You do need to cook the meat filling first because if you use raw meat the cigarim would be burnt by the time filling is cooked.
