Descripción del producto
The Zippo Day of the Dead Girl lighter (model 28830) pairs a glossy Candy Apple Red case with a Dia de los Muertos girl who wears a single rose in her hair, one of the standout pieces in Zippo’s Day of the Dead collection. It is a genuine Zippo windproof lighter: all-metal, refillable for a lifetime of use, and built in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Our Hosts stock it across El Paso Smoke Shops, and this page shows live per-store availability so you can see exactly which El Paso location has one before you drive over.
The Day of the Dead Girl design and Candy Apple Red finish
The artwork honors Dia de los Muertos, the Mexican tradition of remembering loved ones with color, flowers, and decorated calavera (sugar-skull) faces. This 28830 design centers on a young woman in festive face paint with a rose tucked in her hair, a motif tied to the marigolds and blooms placed on Day of the Dead altars. The art is applied with Zippo’s Color Image process and sits on a high-gloss Candy Apple Red lacquered case, so the red lid carries the full-color portrait edge to edge. It is a collection piece that reads as personal and celebratory, which makes it a popular gift here in El Paso and across the border region.
Genuine windproof performance
Every Zippo uses the same windproof chimney that made the brand famous: the perforated wind screen shelters the flame so it holds in a breeze where a disposable would blow out. You get the signature Zippo click on the open and close, an all-metal case, and a flint-wheel ignition. This is a flame lighter for cigarettes, cigars, pipes, candles, and outdoor use. It is not a vape, not an electronic device, and not a concealment device of any kind.
Refilling, flints, and wick care
A Zippo runs on liquid fuel held in a cotton-packed reservoir, so it is refillable for life rather than disposable. Plan to top it off when the flame weakens, since the fluid slowly evaporates even when the lighter sits unused, and keep the lid closed to slow that. We carry the matching consumables so one lighter lasts decades: fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid, keep a pack of replacement flints on hand for reliable sparks, and swap in a replacement wick after years of heavy use. Always refuel away from any open flame.
Authenticity and the lifetime guarantee
This is a real Zippo, not a clone. The bottom of the case carries the Zippo logo and a date code (a letter and two digits marking the month and year it was made in Bradford, Pennsylvania), which is how collectors confirm a genuine lighter. It is covered by Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. We sell the lighter here in El Paso; if the mechanism ever fails through normal use, you send it to Zippo and they repair or replace the working parts at no charge. The decorative finish and printed art are not covered by that mechanical guarantee.
The Zippo Day of the Dead Girl 28830 is a collectible Candy Apple Red windproof lighter that you will actually carry and use for years. It ships empty for safety, so grab a bottle of fluid with it, and check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso Smoke Shops location has one in stock today. Must be 21+ with valid ID to purchase.

Preguntas y Respuestas
What does the Day of the Dead Girl design on the 28830 Zippo show?
It shows a young woman in festive Dia de los Muertos face paint with a single rose in her hair, printed in full color across a Candy Apple Red case. The design celebrates Day of the Dead, the Mexican tradition of honoring loved ones with flowers and decorated calavera faces. It is one of the signature pieces in Zippo's Day of the Dead collection.
Does this Zippo come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, the 28830 ships empty because lighter fluid cannot be transported in a filled lighter. Before the first use you fill the cotton reservoir with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which we sell separately. Fill it away from any open flame and avoid overfilling so it does not leak.
Is the Candy Apple Red finish painted on, and will the artwork scratch off?
The Candy Apple Red is a high-gloss lacquered finish on the metal case, and the girl artwork is applied with Zippo's Color Image process for a smooth, printed-in look. It holds up to normal pocket carry, though like any decorated lighter the finish and printed art can show wear over years of heavy handling. The decorative finish is cosmetic and is not part of Zippo's mechanical guarantee.
How can I tell this is a genuine Zippo and not a knockoff?
Every authentic Zippo has the Zippo logo stamped on the bottom of the case along with a date code, a letter and two digits that mark the month and year it was made in Bradford, Pennsylvania. A missing, blurry, or incorrect bottom stamp is the classic sign of a fake. This lighter is a genuine Zippo, and our Hosts stock it directly so you get the real thing.
What is covered by Zippo's lifetime guarantee on this lighter?
The guarantee covers the mechanical working parts: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the flint wheel, spring, or hinge ever fails through normal use, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair or replace the working parts at no charge. We sell the lighter in El Paso; Zippo performs the free repair. The decorative Candy Apple Red finish and printed art are not covered by the mechanical guarantee.
How do I keep it sparking once the original flint and wick wear out?
A Zippo is built to be maintained, not replaced. When the spark gets weak, drop in a fresh flint from a pack of replacement flints. After years of heavy use the wick can char down, and swapping in a replacement wick restores a clean flame. With fuel, flints, and the occasional wick, one Zippo can last for decades.
Must be 21+ with valid government-issued ID to purchase. This is a genuine Zippo windproof flame lighter for lawful use; it is not a vape, an electronic device, or a concealment device. It ships empty for safety, so premium lighter fluid is required and is sold separately. Refuel away from any open flame, do not overfill, and keep out of the reach of children. In-store purchase only; check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it.
