Descripción del producto
The Zippo Classic Sky Blue Matte Windproof Lighter (48628) is a genuine Zippo in the Classic case, finished in a soft, low-gloss sky blue with no printed design. It lists for $24.95 at El Paso Smoke Shops, where our Hosts stock and handle real Zippo lighters across 10 El Paso, TX locations. It is windproof, refillable, all-metal, and covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Below are the finish, the build, the guarantee, and how to pick one up in El Paso.
A Springtime Blue on the Classic Zippo Case
The Sky Blue Matte finish is a calm, pastel blue with a flat, non-reflective matte coating, introduced by Zippo in 2023 and meant to evoke a clear springtime sky. This is the plain Classic finish: there is no logo print, slogan, or graphic on the case, so the color does all the talking. The matte surface hides fingerprints better than a polished chrome lighter and gives the all-metal Classic case a soft, modern look that reads just as well as an everyday carry as it does as a gift. If you want something understated rather than flashy, the no-design Sky Blue Matte is one of the cleaner looks in the Classic line.
Built Windproof, Made to Refill for Life
Like every windproof Zippo, the 48628 shields the flame inside a slotted chimney so it stays lit in wind and gusts where a disposable lighter would blow out. The case is solid all-metal brass with the hinged lid and the signature Zippo click, and it is refillable rather than disposable. To keep it running, refill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid (sold separately, since the lighter ships empty), keep replacement flints on hand for the strike wheel, and install a replacement wick when the old one darkens with carbon. A frequent user typically tops off the fuel about once a week, changes a flint every few weeks, and trims or replaces the wick once or twice a year, so a single lighter can last for decades.
Backed by Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee
Every genuine Zippo windproof lighter carries Zippo’s lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo honors the guarantee. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has built lighters since 1932, and they repair it free of charge. There is no receipt required and no time limit. The guarantee covers mechanical function, not cosmetic wear to the finish, and you cover the shipping to send it in.

Preguntas y Respuestas
Does the Sky Blue Matte 48628 have any design or logo on it?
No. This is the plain Classic finish, so the case is solid Sky Blue Matte with no printed logo, slogan, or graphic. The matte sky-blue color, introduced by Zippo in 2023, is the whole look. If you want a clean, understated lighter rather than a printed design, this is one of the simplest in the Classic line.
Does this Zippo come with lighter fluid?
No. The lighter ships empty for safe transport, so you fill it before the first use. Zippo windproof lighters are designed to run on premium lighter fluid, which is sold separately, and we carry it at El Paso Smoke Shops. To fill it, lift the insert out of the case, lift the felt pad, saturate the packing with fuel, and stop once it reaches the top of the packing so it does not overfill or leak.
Is the Sky Blue Matte lighter actually windproof?
Yes. Like all Zippo windproof lighters, the 48628 protects the flame inside a slotted chimney, so it stays lit in wind and gusts that would blow out a typical disposable lighter. Keep the lid closed when it is not in use, since the fuel evaporates over time even when the lighter sits unused.
How often will I need to refill the fuel and replace the flint?
It depends on use. A frequent user usually tops off the fuel about once a week, since lighter fluid also evaporates slowly through the wick. The flint typically lasts a few weeks of regular use before the wheel stops sparking well, at which point you drop in a fresh one. We stock both the fuel and the flints in El Paso so you can keep it running.
When do I trim or replace the wick, and can I do it myself?
Yes, the wick is user-serviceable. The wick darkens with carbon over time, so you trim it back to clean material about once or twice a year. Each wick is roughly four inches long, so after two or three trimmings you replace it with a fresh one. It is a quick job with needle-nose pliers, and we carry replacement wicks at El Paso Smoke Shops.
How does Zippo's lifetime guarantee work for this lighter?
Every genuine Zippo is covered for life: it works or Zippo fixes it free. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo performs the repair. If the mechanism ever fails, you send it to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and they repair it free of charge, with no receipt and no time limit. The guarantee covers the working mechanism, not cosmetic wear to the finish, and you cover the shipping to send it in.
Must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID to purchase. This is a windproof pocket lighter, not a vaporizer and not a concealment device. It ships empty: Zippo premium lighter fluid is sold separately and the lighter must be filled before the first use. Keep the lid closed and store away from heat and open flame. El Paso Smoke Shops has 10 El Paso, TX locations and this model is stocked in only some of them, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store currently has it.
