Descripción del producto
The Zippo How I Roll Dice Lighter (218) puts a roll-of-the-dice design on the lighter that has been a pocket icon since 1932. It is a genuine windproof Zippo on the Classic case, finished in black matte and built in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Our Hosts stock and handle this lighter across our El Paso stores, so the notes below come from real time with the product on our counters, not a spec sheet alone.
A windproof Classic with a dice-roll attitude
This is the full-size Zippo Classic case wearing the How I Roll dice artwork, a nod to anyone who likes to leave a little to chance. The draw is the same one that has held up for decades: a hinged lid that opens and closes with the signature click, a flint wheel you can strike with one thumb, and a windscreen that keeps the flame burning when an ordinary flame would blow out. Zippo’s windproof design works by combining that windscreen with a steady rate of fuel delivery, which is why it stays lit in gusty El Paso afternoons. The dice graphic is the personality; the windproof engine underneath is the reason it has been carried for generations.
Black matte: a smooth finish that hides fingerprints
The black matte finish is more than a color. Black matte was the first matte finish Zippo added to its line back in 1984, and it has stayed popular for a practical reason: the soft, non-reflective texture resists fingerprints and shrugs off the light scratches that show up fast on polished chrome. It gives the case a stealthy, modern look while keeping the How I Roll design crisp against the dark background. When you fill it, avoid spilling fluid on the outer case, since splashes can mar a matte finish over time.
Made in Bradford and guaranteed for life
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter, including this one, is manufactured in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where George Blaisdell founded the company in 1932. It carries Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee, summed up in the trademarked line “it works or Zippo fixes it free” by the maker. To be clear on who stands behind that: El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo honors the guarantee. If the mechanism ever fails, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free, no receipt or registration required. A date code stamped on the bottom of the case records the month and year it was made, a detail collectors use to date any Zippo.
Refillable for life: fluid, flints, and wick
A Zippo is built to be refilled, not thrown away, which is part of why one lighter can last decades. Like every new Zippo, it arrives empty for safe shipping, so before the first light you fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid: lift the insert from the case, raise the felt pad, and saturate the packing slowly until the fluid reaches the top, then wipe the lighter and your hands dry before striking. Lighter fluid evaporates even when the lighter sits unused, so many Guests top it off every five to seven days. Over the long haul the two wear items are the flint and the wick: keep a card of replacement flints on hand for when the spark gets weak, and swap in a replacement wick once the tip chars down. With those three on hand, this lighter is genuinely a buy-it-once tool.

Preguntas y Respuestas
Is the Zippo How I Roll (218) an authentic Zippo or just a printed sticker design?
It is a genuine Zippo. The How I Roll dice artwork is applied to a real full-size Zippo Classic brass case in the black matte finish, model 218, made in Bradford, Pennsylvania. You get the same windproof mechanism, hinged lid, and lifetime guarantee as any Classic Zippo, with the dice design on the front.
Does this Zippo come filled with fluid, and how do I fill it the first time?
No. Like every new Zippo, it ships empty for safe transport, so you fill it before the first use. Lift the insert out of the case, raise the felt pad, and slowly saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until it reaches the top, then wipe the lighter and your hands dry before striking. Do not overfill, since an overfilled lighter can leak.
How often do I need to refill a Zippo, and why does the fuel go down when I don't use it?
Zippo lighter fluid evaporates even when the lighter sits unused, so the level drops over time on its own. With regular use, many Guests refill every five to seven days; an idle lighter simply needs a top-off before you head out. Keeping the lid fully closed helps slow evaporation between fills.
Will the black matte finish show fingerprints or scratch easily?
The black matte finish is specifically designed to resist fingerprints and light scratches. Its soft, non-reflective texture hides smudges far better than polished chrome, which is part of why matte black has stayed a favorite since Zippo introduced it in 1984. When refilling, avoid spilling fluid on the outer case, as that can affect a matte finish.
What does the lifetime guarantee cover, and who repairs the lighter?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers the lighter's mechanism for life, summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free. To be clear, El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter and Zippo honors the guarantee: if it ever stops working, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free, with no receipt or registration required. The guarantee covers function, not the dice artwork or finish wear from everyday use.
What flints and wick does this lighter use, and where do I get replacements?
It uses standard genuine Zippo flints and a standard Zippo wick, the same two wear parts every Classic Zippo uses. When the spark gets weak, change the flint with a card of replacement flints; when the wick tip chars down and won't light cleanly, install a replacement wick. With fuel, a flint, and a wick on hand, this lighter is built to last for decades.
For Guests 21 and older with a valid government-issued ID. This is a genuine windproof, refillable flame lighter and tobacco accessory; it ships empty, so lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before first use. It is not a vaping device and not a concealment device. Use and store responsibly, away from children and heat.
