You use it to chage the day/night/weather cycle when doing missions/free roam, but has no effect on the real time elements(FOB/MB building/deployment/weapon development/materal processing/Staff recruitment)

Hmm... You are playing free roam and found your way into a OPS or Side OPS, but it's too crowded so you use the cigar and wait for it to be night time.

ending a mission faster( back up back down), causing ♥♥♥♥♥♥ weather to spawn via waiting, change of patrols due to day shift, changing day to night vice versa, and a throwback to the cigars and cigs that naked and solid snake used.

1. You want to do a mission during night and it's daytime and you can't be arsed to start it from scratch

2. You're doing the horrible enter/exit/cigar Paz "secret" which is probably the worst ingame design I've seen in my life

3. Apparently targets in the horrible training crap sideops are easily visible if you equip IC during night and you'll rarely drop at motherbase during nights (never tried this, can't confirm)

4. You want to hear the jingle that plays every time you start "smoking"

It also cycles enemy awareness. Wait up to three days to get bases to return to low alert.
