Descripción del producto
The Zippo Three Monkeys lighter (model 29409) is a genuine windproof pocket lighter built on Zippo’s Classic case in a stealthy black matte finish. Its standout feature is a three-dimensional emblem of the see-no-evil, hear-no-evil, speak-no-evil monkeys, cast in solid brass and mounted on the case front. It is fully refillable, made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and protected by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. It arrives empty in a Zippo gift box, so you add premium lighter fluid before the first use.

The see-no-evil emblem, cast in solid brass
The design is the centerpiece. Three primates are cast in solid brass and mounted as a raised, three-dimensional emblem on the black matte case, giving the lighter real depth and weight you can feel. The figures are the three wise monkeys, a Japanese pictorial maxim known in English as see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Their names, Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru, come from a play on the Japanese -zaru verb ending and saru, the word for monkey. The trio traces back to a 17th-century carving at the Tosho-gu shrine in Nikko, Japan, and the proverb itself echoes far older lines in the Analects of Confucius. The matte-black-on-brass contrast keeps the emblem the visual focus of the lighter.
Windproof by design, and refillable for life
This is a true windproof Zippo. The chimney-style windscreen around the wick, paired with a steady rate of fuel delivery, lets the flame stay lit in wind and gusts where most lighters quit, which is why El Paso guests reach for it outdoors. It runs on liquid fuel and is refillable for a lifetime of use rather than disposable. You top it off with Zippo premium lighter fluid (sold separately, since the lighter ships empty), saturating the packing inside the case until it just reaches the top. The flint sparks the wick: average users swap in replacement flints every few weeks, and the wick is trimmed once or twice a year and eventually swapped for a replacement wick after a few trims. Each part is inexpensive, so the same lighter keeps working for decades.

Preguntas y Respuestas
What do the three monkeys on this Zippo mean?
They are the three wise monkeys, a Japanese maxim known in English as see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil. Their names are Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru. On the 29409 they are cast in solid brass as a raised, three-dimensional emblem on the black matte case. The symbol is widely read as a reminder to avoid dwelling on wrongdoing.
Does the Zippo Three Monkeys lighter come with lighter fluid?
No. Like all Zippo windproof lighters, the 29409 ships empty, so you add fuel before the first use. We carry Zippo premium lighter fluid separately. Fill it by saturating the packing inside the case until the fluid reaches the top of the packing, then wipe off any excess so it does not leak.
Is the 29409 refillable, and how often does it need fuel?
Yes, it is fully refillable and built to last for decades rather than be thrown away. Liquid fuel evaporates slowly even when the lighter sits unused, so keep the lid closed and top it off with Zippo premium lighter fluid before heavy use. Refilling takes under a minute.
How often do I replace the flint and the wick?
An average user replaces the flint every few weeks; we stock replacement flints for that. The wick is trimmed once or twice a year as it darkens with carbon, and after a few trims you install a replacement wick. Both parts are inexpensive and keep the lighter performing like new.
Is this Zippo actually windproof?
Yes. The chimney-style windscreen around the wick, combined with a steady fuel-delivery rate, lets a genuine Zippo flame stay lit in wind and gusts that would put out a standard lighter. That windproof design is why Zippo lighters earned the name and why guests favor them outdoors.
Where is the Three Monkeys Zippo made, and is it guaranteed?
It is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has produced windproof lighters since 1932. It carries Zippo's lifetime guarantee, it works or Zippo fixes it free, with no receipt or time limit required. If it ever fails mechanically, you send it to Zippo and they repair it free. We sell the lighter at El Paso Smoke Shops; Zippo honors the guarantee. To find one locally, check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it in stock.
