Zippo Classic High Polish Blue Lighter (20446) in El Paso

The Zippo Classic High Polish Blue Lighter (model 20446) pairs the iconic Zippo case shape with a deep, mirror-bright blue chrome finish that Zippo calls Sapphire. There is no graphic or logo on it, just a smooth, reflective solid-color case, which makes it both a sharp everyday carry and a popular blank for engraving. Like every Classic Zippo, it is windproof, refillable, all-metal, and built in the United States.

A Mirror-Bright Sapphire Blue Finish

The High Polish Blue finish is a glossy, jewel-toned blue applied as a micro-thin, scratch-resistant chrome coating over the brass case, which is where the Sapphire nickname comes from. The surface is left plain with no design, so the color does all the talking and the case stays a clean canvas for monograms or custom engraving. Because the finish is highly reflective, it tends to show fingerprints, which wipe away easily with a soft cloth or a dedicated chrome polish.

Windproof, Built in Bradford, Pennsylvania

Zippo has built its windproof lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932, and the 20446 is a Classic-case example. The windproof performance comes from the chimney windscreen surrounding the wick: it shields the flame and lets the lighter stay lit in wind and gusts where most lighters blow out. You get the signature Zippo lid click on open and close, and you snuff the flame by closing the lid rather than blowing it out.

Refilling and Everyday Care

This Zippo is refillable for a lifetime of use rather than disposable. Refuel it with Zippo premium lighter fluid by lifting the insert out of the case and saturating the cotton packing, then letting any excess evaporate before striking. With regular use a full fill lasts roughly up to two weeks, and because the fluid slowly evaporates even when idle, keep the lid closed and top it off before you head out. Over time the consumable parts are easy to renew: keep a supply of replacement flints on hand for reliable sparks, and swap in a replacement wick when the old one darkens or frays. To keep the Sapphire shine, buff fingerprints and light marks with a soft cloth and chrome polish, and skip abrasive cleaners.

Backed by Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee

Every genuine Zippo is covered by Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee, summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no charge. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee and performs any repair. The 20446 arrives in a Zippo gift box, which makes it an easy present.
