Product description
The Zippo Cyber Skull Windproof Lighter in White Matte (model 48659) is a genuine Zippo: an all-metal, refillable windproof pocket lighter that opens with the familiar Zippo click and is backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. What sets this one apart is the artwork. A skull rendered in Zippo’s Color Image process sits on a high-contrast matte white case, wired with networks of circuitry and electrical pulses for a cybernetic look. El Paso Smoke Shops carries Zippo across our 10 El Paso, Texas locations; this design is stocked at some of them, so use the live availability above to see which store has it on the shelf today.
The Cyber Skull design and White Matte case
The Cyber Skull artwork is a full-color skull threaded with wires and glowing electrical pulses, printed using Zippo’s Color Image process so the graphic wraps the front of the case rather than sitting on a sticker or wrap. It is set against a White Matte finish, a smooth low-gloss coating that resists fingerprints and shrugs off the minor scuffs of daily pocket carry, keeping the white background bright behind the design. The model code stamped to this version is 48659. If you want a Zippo that reads as a piece rather than a plain chrome lighter, the cyber skull and matte white pairing is the hook.
Built like every genuine Zippo: windproof, all-metal, refillable
Underneath the art it is a standard Zippo windproof insert. The all-metal case and signature chimney shield the flame so it stays lit in wind where a disposable would blow out, which is why Zippo calls it a windproof lighter. It runs on premium lighter fluid and is fully refillable for a lifetime of use, so you are not throwing it away when the fuel runs low. When the time comes, you saturate the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, and the two service parts that ever wear are the flint and the wick, both replaceable with replacement flints and a replacement wick we stock right here.
Zippo's lifetime guarantee
This lighter carries Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. The guarantee is Zippo’s and Zippo performs any mechanical repair; if a genuine Zippo ever fails mechanically you send it to Zippo and they repair it free, regardless of the lighter’s age. Zippo notes that in more than 85 years no one has ever paid a cent for the mechanical repair of a Zippo pocket lighter. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee on the mechanism.
Buying it at El Paso Smoke Shops
The Cyber Skull arrives in a Zippo gift box, which makes it an easy gift or collector pickup.

Add fuel, and it is a lighter you refill for years instead of replace. Check the live store availability above and stop by the El Paso Smoke Shops location that has it.

Questions & Answers
Does the Zippo Cyber Skull lighter come already filled with fluid?
No. Like every genuine Zippo, the Cyber Skull (48659) ships empty for safe transport, so it is not filled when you buy it. Fill the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid before the first use, stopping when the fluid reaches the top of the packing so it does not overfill or leak. Lighter fluid is sold separately.
What is the Cyber Skull design and how is it printed on the case?
The Cyber Skull is a full-color skull threaded with networks of wires and electrical pulses, giving it a cybernetic look. It is produced with Zippo's Color Image process, which prints the graphic directly onto the White Matte case rather than applying a sticker or wrap, so the artwork is part of the finish. This version is stamped model code 48659.
Will the White Matte finish or the skull design wear off over time?
The White Matte finish is built for daily carry. It is a smooth, low-gloss coating that resists fingerprints and the minor scuffs of pocket use, and owners report it shows very little wear with normal handling. As with any printed lighter, avoid harsh abrasives and solvents on the artwork. The mechanism itself is covered for life: if it ever fails mechanically, Zippo repairs it free.
How do I refill the lighter and how often do the flint and wick need replacing?
To refuel, lift the insert from the case, slowly saturate the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, and stop at the top of the packing. The flint typically needs swapping every few weeks for an average user, using replacement flints. The wick usually needs trimming or replacing once or twice a year as it darkens with carbon; install a replacement wick when cleaning it up no longer restores the flame. We stock all three.
Is the Zippo Cyber Skull lighter actually windproof?
Yes. The Cyber Skull uses Zippo's standard windproof insert: the all-metal case and slotted chimney shield the flame so it stays lit in wind that would blow out an open-flame disposable. That windproof design is the core of every genuine Zippo and is why it works reliably outdoors. It is a flame lighter, not a vape.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee cover on this lighter?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers the mechanical function of the lighter for life: it works or Zippo fixes it free. The guarantee is Zippo's, and Zippo performs the repair, so if the mechanism ever fails you send it to Zippo and they repair it at no charge, no matter the lighter's age. Zippo states that in more than 85 years no one has paid a cent for a mechanical repair. Normal consumables like fluid, flints, and wicks are not repairs, they are routine maintenance you handle yourself.
You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued photo ID to purchase any lighter or smoking accessory at El Paso Smoke Shops. The Cyber Skull (48659) is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty for safety, so add Zippo premium lighter fluid before first use. Keep away from children and use responsibly. Availability is per store: this item is stocked at some of our El Paso locations, so check the live availability on this page to see which store has it.
