Descripción del producto
The Zippo Skull with Headdress Windproof Lighter pairs a bold, hand-illustrated skull-and-headdress motif with the Zippo case that has been built in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932. It is a brass-cased, refillable windproof lighter that uses premium lighter fluid, ships empty, and is covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. We stock this lighter at select El Paso Smoke Shops locations, so use the live availability on this page to see which store currently has it before you make the trip.
The Skull with Headdress design
The artwork wraps a detailed skull crowned with a feathered headdress across the front of the case. Zippo’s color-imaging process reproduces the layered shading and fine line work of the original pen-and-ink style illustration, so the design reads sharp from across the counter and holds up to daily pocket carry. It sits on a Classic-size case, the same proportions Zippo has used for decades, giving you a recognizable silhouette with a distinctive face. This is a decorative lighter design and nothing more; we describe the artwork, not any claim beyond it.
Built windproof, refillable for life
Every Zippo earns the windproof name from its windscreen chimney and steady fuel delivery, which keep the flame lit in conditions that snuff out a basic lighter. The case is brass, the insert is replaceable, and the whole lighter is refillable, so it is built to be a keeper rather than a throwaway. When the flame weakens you top it off with Zippo premium lighter fluid; when the spark fades you drop in fresh replacement flints; and when the cotton darkens you swap in a replacement wick. A little upkeep is what makes a Zippo last.
The Zippo lifetime guarantee
This lighter is covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. The mechanical repair is honored by Zippo Manufacturing, not by us; we sell and stock the lighter, and if the mechanism ever fails you send it to Zippo and they repair it free. The guarantee covers the working parts, not the surface artwork or normal wear. It is one of the reasons a Zippo tends to outlast the trends printed on it.
What is in the tin, and what is not
The lighter ships empty. Zippo lighters use liquid premium lighter fluid rather than butane, and that fuel is sold separately so you can buy it fresh. Because the case is not airtight, fluid evaporates over a week or two even when the lighter sits unused, so most owners top off with Zippo premium lighter fluid shortly before they need it. This is a flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. Our Hosts can walk you through the first fill at the counter when you pick one up.
If you want a windproof lighter that looks like nothing else on the shelf and is built to be refilled for years, the Skull with Headdress Zippo is an easy yes. It is stocked in some of our El Paso stores rather than every location, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso Smoke Shops has it, then stop in. You must be 21 or older with a valid ID to purchase.

Preguntas y Respuestas
What does the Skull with Headdress design look like and what is it printed on?
It is a detailed skull crowned with a feathered headdress, illustrated in a pen-and-ink style and reproduced through Zippo's color-imaging process so the shading and line work stay crisp. The artwork sits on a brass Classic-size case. It is a decorative design only.
Does this Zippo come with lighter fluid?
No. Like all standard Zippo lighters, it ships empty and the fuel is sold separately. Pick up a can of Zippo premium lighter fluid to fill it before the first use. Zippo lighters run on liquid lighter fluid, not butane.
How do I fill the lighter and what fuel should I use?
Lift the insert out of the case, then slowly saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, stopping once the fluid reaches the top of the packing. Do not overfill or it can leak, and keep the lid closed when stored since the fuel evaporates over time. Our Hosts are happy to show you at the counter.
Is it really windproof, and will it stay lit outside?
Yes. The flame sits inside a windscreen chimney and the lighter delivers fuel at a steady rate, which is why Zippos stay lit in wind that would put out a basic lighter. That windproof design is a core Zippo feature, not an add-on for this model.
How do I replace the flint and the wick when it stops sparking?
When the spark gets weak, remove the spring under the insert and drop in a fresh flint from a pack of replacement flints. When the cotton darkens and lights poorly, use tweezers to pull up clean cotton or fit a replacement wick, then trim it level with the chimney. Both parts keep the lighter going for years.
Does it have the Zippo lifetime guarantee, and who does the repair?
Yes, it carries Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. The repair is handled by Zippo Manufacturing, not by us. We sell and stock the lighter, and if the mechanism ever fails you send it to Zippo and they repair it free. The guarantee covers the working parts, not the artwork or normal wear.
