Descripción del producto
The Zippo Herringbone Sweep Brass Windproof Lighter (model 29830) is a solid-brass, refillable pocket lighter wearing one of Zippo’s most understated finishes: a brushed herringbone pattern that sweeps across the front and back, framed by tumbled side panels. It is a genuine windproof Zippo, made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and carried by El Paso Smoke Shops across our El Paso locations. This item is stocked in only some of our stores, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it on the shelf today. It ships empty, fluid is sold separately, and it is sold to guests 21 and older with valid ID.
The Herringbone Sweep, Up Close
The Herringbone Sweep finish joined the Zippo lineup in 2009 as a refined twist on the plain brushed case. The angled herringbone grain is brushed into the front and back of the brass body, while the sides are left tumbled, giving the lighter two textures that catch light differently as you turn it. On a solid brass case the effect reads warm and classic rather than flashy, which is why guests tend to pick this one as an everyday carry or a low-key gift. The result is the familiar Classic-size Zippo silhouette with a quieter, hand-finished look.
Brass That Ages With You
Brass is a living finish. Each Zippo brass case leaves Bradford with a thin protective coating, and that coating gradually wears off with normal pocket use, after which the brass begins to develop a natural patina. Some guests polish theirs to keep it bright; others let it darken and mellow over the years. To keep the herringbone brushed look sharp, Zippo recommends a light or medium-duty Scotch-Brite type pad rubbed gently in the same direction as the grain, never a steel scouring pad. Store it in a pocket or sleeve away from moisture if you want to slow the patina. Either way, the case is built to outlast the trends.
Built Windproof in Bradford
George Blaisdell built the first Zippo in early-1930s Bradford, Pennsylvania, after watching a friend fight with a clumsy windproof lighter. The windproof chimney he designed shields the flame so it lights reliably outdoors, in wind, and indoors alike, and that same chimney design carries through to this 29830. Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter is backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. The lighter is still manufactured in Bradford to this day. To be clear on who stands behind what: El Paso Smoke Shops sells you the lighter, and Zippo honors the guarantee. If a Zippo ever stops working, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free, no receipt required.
Fuel, Flints, and Everyday Use
This Zippo arrives empty for safe shipping, so plan to fuel it before first use. Lift the insert, lift the felt pad, and saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, stopping when the fluid reaches the top of the packing so it does not overfill or leak. A full fill lights roughly 200 times, and because lighter fluid slowly evaporates even when the lid is closed, most guests top it off every week or two of regular use. The lighter is fully rebuildable, which is the point of owning one: keep a pack of replacement flints on hand, and after a few trimmings install a replacement wick so the spark and flame stay strong for life. Fuel, flints, and wicks are sold separately.

Preguntas y Respuestas
What is the Herringbone Sweep pattern on this brass Zippo?
It is a brushed, angled herringbone grain swept across the front and back of the brass case, with the side panels left tumbled for contrast. Zippo introduced the Herringbone Sweep in 2009 as a more refined take on a plain brushed case. On solid brass (model 29830) it gives a warm, understated, hand-finished look rather than a high-gloss shine.
Does the Zippo Herringbone Sweep come with lighter fluid?
No. It ships empty for safe transport, so you fill it before first use. It runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid, which we sell separately. Lift the insert and felt pad, saturate the packing, and stop when the fluid reaches the top so it will not overfill or leak.
Will the brass case tarnish, and how do I care for it?
Some tarnish is normal and expected on brass. Each case ships with a thin protective coating that wears off with everyday use, after which the brass develops a natural patina. To keep the brushed herringbone look sharp, gently rub a light or medium-duty Scotch-Brite type pad in the same direction as the grain, never a steel scouring pad. Many guests simply let the patina build for character.
How long does a fill last and how often do I refuel?
A full fill lights roughly 200 times. Because lighter fluid slowly evaporates even with the lid closed, most guests top it off every week or two of regular use. Keep the lid closed when not in use to slow evaporation, and refuel before a long outing.
Is this Zippo windproof, and what does the lifetime guarantee cover?
Yes. The windproof chimney shields the flame so it lights reliably in wind, outdoors or in. Every genuine Zippo carries Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; if it ever stops working you send it to Zippo and they repair it free, no receipt needed.
Can I replace the flint and wick myself?
Yes, that is the point of a Zippo. Drop a new flint into the flint tube under the felt pad and reseat the spring, and use replacement flints as the spark weakens. After a few trimmings, fit a replacement wick by feeding it through the chimney. Both parts are sold separately and keep the lighter going for life.
Sold only to guests 21 and older with valid government-issued ID. This is a windproof pocket flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty: Zippo premium lighter fluid and flints are sold separately. Fill outdoors away from any flame, wipe your hands and the lighter dry before lighting, do not overfill, and keep the lid closed when not in use. This item is stocked at select El Paso Smoke Shops locations; check the live availability on this page for your nearest store.
