The Venetian design, a Zippo classic since 1974
Zippo introduced the Venetian in 1974, and its floral filigree front has become one of the most recognized designs the company has ever produced. The name nods to the decorative-arts tradition of Venice, Italy, long known for intricate, ornamental metalwork. This Colorful Venetian (49139) takes that engraved floral pattern and finishes it in vivid multi-color across the high polish chrome, so the case catches light from nearly every angle. The reverse keeps a clean panel, which is the traditional spot Zippo leaves open for a monogram or custom engraving.
Windproof by design
What separates a Zippo from a disposable lighter is the windproof flame. The signature windscreen wraps the wick and chimneys the flame, so it holds steady in wind and breeze that would blow out an ordinary lighter. Flip the lid for the unmistakable Zippo click, roll the flint wheel, and you get a flame; snap the lid shut to extinguish it. The all-metal case is built for everyday carry, and Zippo manufactures every windproof lighter at its factory in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
Refill it, maintain it, keep it for life
This is a refillable lighter, not a throwaway, which is the whole point. Saturate the packing with premium lighter fluid before first use and top it off when the flame weakens; fuel slowly evaporates even when the lighter sits, so a quick refill before a night out keeps it ready. The flint wears down with regular striking and is a simple swap, so keep a pack of replacement flints on hand. The wick lasts much longer but eventually chars, and trimming or fitting a replacement wick brings the flame right back. None of these are consumable gimmicks; they are why a single Zippo can last for decades of use.
Covered for life by Zippo, and ready to gift
Every Zippo windproof lighter carries the brand’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania at no charge, regardless of the lighter’s age or condition. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee. The 49139 arrives in a Zippo gift box, and with its open reverse panel ready for engraving it makes a lasting gift that is far from disposable.
The Colorful Venetian (49139) is collectible-grade everyday carry: a windproof, refillable, lifetime-guaranteed Zippo wrapped in one of the brand’s most enduring designs. It ships empty for safe transport, so add fuel before the first light. To pick one up in El Paso, check the live availability on this page to see which of our stores has it in stock, then stop in. Lighters are sold to adults 21 and older with valid government-issued photo ID.

Questions & Answers
What is the Venetian design on the Zippo 49139?
The Venetian is a floral filigree pattern Zippo introduced in 1974, named for the ornamental arts tradition of Venice, Italy. On the Colorful Venetian (49139) that engraved floral design is finished in vivid multi-color across a high polish chrome case, while the reverse stays open for engraving. It is one of the most recognized and longest-running designs in Zippo's catalog.
Can I engrave the back of this Zippo Venetian lighter?
Yes. The Colorful Venetian carries its multi-color floral pattern on the front and leaves the reverse panel smooth, which is the traditional space Zippo reserves for a monogram, initials, or a short custom engraving. That open back is part of why this model is popular as a personalized gift.
Does the Zippo Colorful Venetian come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like all new Zippos it ships empty, because lighter fluid cannot be shipped inside a filled lighter under U.S. Department of Transportation rules. Before your first light, lift the felt pad and saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, then let any excess settle. Fuel is sold separately.
How does a Zippo stay lit in the wind?
The windproof flame comes from the chimney-style windscreen around the wick, which shields and channels the flame so it holds steady in wind and breeze that would blow out a disposable lighter. Flip the lid open for the signature Zippo click, strike the flint wheel for a flame, and close the lid to put it out.
Who repairs a Zippo if it stops working?
Zippo does, at no charge. Every windproof Zippo is backed by the brand's lifetime guarantee, it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at their Bradford, Pennsylvania repair clinic regardless of the lighter's age or condition. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the repair.
How often do I replace the flint and wick on a Zippo?
It depends on use. For an everyday user the flint typically lasts a few weeks and is a quick swap, while the wick usually lasts six months to a year before it needs trimming or replacing. Keeping the lid closed between uses slows fuel evaporation. When the flame finally weakens despite a full fill, fitting a fresh wick usually restores it.
Sold to adults 21 and older with a valid government-issued photo ID. This is a genuine Zippo windproof flame lighter, not a vape, e-cigarette, or concealment device. It ships empty for safe transport; premium lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before first use. Keep fuel and flame away from children and use responsibly.
