The Phantom Cigar comes from Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, released in 2015, where Venom Snake uses the herbal cigar to make time pass quickly while waiting in the field. Kazuhira Miller is the ally Snake rescues early in the story, which makes forgetting him an especially sharp joke. Clips built around that time-skip mechanic spread through gaming forums and meme edits, and the line is still used whenever a creator wants to show hours vanishing and priorities disappearing with them.

A short Metal Gear Solid V dialogue clip about Snake forgetting Miller after using the Phantom Cigar, used for time-skip and memory lapse jokes.
This clip recreates a deadpan exchange where an urgent voice asks Snake if he has rescued Miller after three days, and Snake blankly replies asking who Miller is. The joke lands on the pause before the answer and the flat delivery, implying the Phantom Cigar time-skip has wiped his focus completely. It plays less like an action moment and more like a confused reaction, with the contrast between panic and indifference making the forgetfulness feel absurd. Viewers instantly read it as someone returning after a long absence with no memory of the task.
