Descripción del producto
The Zippo Tone on Tone Black Matte lighter (29989) is a genuine windproof Zippo: a solid-brass, refillable pocket lighter whose matte black case hides an ornate filigree pattern that only shows when light catches it. It arrives empty and ready to fill, and the mechanism is backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Here is exactly what the design is, how the windproof flame works, and how to keep it lit for years.
What the Tone on Tone design actually is
Tone on Tone is Zippo’s name for a design that hides a decorative filigree pattern inside a single-color case. On the 29989, Zippo’s artists color-image an ornate filigree across the black matte surface so it appears only as a soft change in tone, not as a bright printed graphic. Look at it straight on and you see a clean matte black lighter. Tilt it toward the light and the scrollwork emerges. It is one of the more understated designs in the lineup, which is why it reads as dressy rather than loud.
Windproof by design, and how to put it out
Every Zippo windproof lighter, including this one, stays lit in wind because of the perforated windscreen around the wick combined with a steady rate of fuel delivery. That same design means you cannot reliably blow it out from the side. To extinguish it, close the lid: snapping the case shut starves the flame of oxygen and produces the signature Zippo click. The flame is a true open flame fueled by liquid lighter fluid, not a butane jet.
Brass build, backed for life by Zippo
The case is solid brass finished with an electrostatically applied black matte powder coat, so it has the weight and feel Zippo is known for. Zippo has built its lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932, and every windproof Zippo carries the brand’s lifetime guarantee, summed up as ‘it works or Zippo fixes it free.’ That guarantee is Zippo’s, and Zippo performs the repair: if the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo’s repair clinic and they fix it free of charge. The guarantee covers how the lighter works, not cosmetic wear to the finish.
Keeping it lit: fuel, flints, and wick
This Zippo arrives empty, so fill it before first use. Saturate the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, give it a minute or two to wick up, then strike. The two parts that wear with regular use are the flint and the wick, both of which are inexpensive and quick to swap, so a single brass case can last for decades of daily carry.

Preguntas y Respuestas
What is the Zippo Tone on Tone design on the 29989?
Tone on Tone is a design where Zippo hides an ornate filigree pattern inside a single-color case. On the Black Matte 29989, the filigree is color-imaged into the matte surface so it shows only as a subtle change in tone. It looks like plain matte black head-on and reveals the scrollwork when you tilt it to the light.
Does this Zippo come with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo windproof lighter, the 29989 ships empty because carriers prohibit shipping it with flammable fuel inside. Fill it with Zippo premium lighter fluid before your first use, let it soak into the cotton packing for a minute or two, and then it is ready to strike.
Will the black matte finish scratch or wear over time?
It can. The black matte coating is a powder coat over brass, and like any matte finish it will show wear with heavy daily carry. That is normal and expected. Note that Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers the lighter's mechanism, not cosmetic wear to the finish, so carry it on its own if you want to preserve the look.
Is the Tone on Tone lighter really windproof, and how do I put it out?
Yes. The perforated windscreen around the wick plus a steady fuel feed keep the flame lit in wind, which is why you cannot easily blow it out from the side. To extinguish it, simply close the lid: snapping the case shut cuts off oxygen and gives you the classic Zippo click.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee cover on this lighter?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee is summed up as 'it works or Zippo fixes it free.' If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo's repair clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and they repair it at no charge, with no receipt and no time limit. The guarantee applies to function, not to cosmetic finish wear, loss, or theft.
What fuel, flints, and wick does the 29989 use?
It runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid, a flint, and a cotton wick. The flint wears fastest with daily striking, so keep replacement flints on hand, and fit a replacement wick once the original darkens with carbon and stops lighting cleanly. Fill the cotton packing with fluid, wait a minute for it to saturate, and strike.
You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID to purchase. This Zippo is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty: carrier rules mean lighter fluid is never included, so fill it with lighter fluid before first use. Sold in-store only; check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it.
