Zippo Mazzi Dragon Warrior Design Windproof Lighter, High Polish Brass (29668)

The Zippo Mazzi Dragon Warrior is a high polish brass windproof lighter (model 29668) that turns a pocket essential into a piece of wearable art. Its full-face design comes from Claudio Mazzi, the Italian airbrush master who has created lighter art for Zippo since 1996, reproduced here with Zippo’s lustre etch and Color Image printing. Like every Zippo windproof lighter, it is refillable, built from solid metal, and backed by the brand’s lifetime guarantee.

The Mazzi Dragon Warrior, painted on brass

The artwork is the reason this lighter exists. Claudio Mazzi earned the title Maestro d’Arte and has spent more than 25 years using the Zippo case as his canvas, and the Dragon Warrior (also sold as the Dragon Girl) is one of his most striking motifs: a sword-wielding warrior set against a coiling dragon. Zippo reproduces his airbrushed original with a dual process that combines lustre etch with Color Image printing, layering crisp line detail and color-intense shading onto the warm high polish brass case. The result reads as art first and tool second, which is what draws collectors and fans of dragon designs to the Mazzi collection.

Windproof by design, refillable for life

Underneath the artwork is a standard genuine Zippo windproof insert. The signature chimney shields the flame so the lighter stays lit on a windy patio or outdoors where an ordinary flame would blow out, and the all-metal case closes with the unmistakable Zippo click. Because it is refillable, you top it off with fuel and swap the small wear parts rather than discarding it, which is why a well-kept Zippo can last for decades. Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter is backed by Zippo’s 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.

Keeping your Zippo lit: fuel, flints, and wick

A Zippo arrives empty, so your first step is to fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid. Lift the insert out of the case, slowly saturate the cotton packing, and stop once the fluid reaches the top so it will not overfill or leak. The flint is the small part that throws the spark, and for an everyday user it lasts a few weeks before it wears down, so it helps to keep replacement flints on hand. The wick feeds fuel up to the flame and lasts much longer, but after several trimmings it benefits from a replacement wick. This routine upkeep is normal ownership and is separate from the windproof mechanism that the lifetime guarantee covers.
