Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar and a man wanted a smoke.

And sometimes a cigar works a subtle metaphor for erectile disfunction (like in La Regenta).

Some fiction books are simply are a series of actions and dialogues, with maybe some world building. Others are way deeper than that and have layers upon layers of meaning. A statement such as “fiction books NEVER have deeper meaning” is way too categorical and absolutely untrue.
