The Paradise design by John Smith Gumbula
This is a licensed art piece. John Smith Gumbula is an Australian Aboriginal artist and cultural ambassador with more than 30 years in the arts. His Paradise artwork is applied with Zippo’s Color Image method, wrapping a full-color tropical bird and sea turtle in a Multi Color finish across the case. The scene celebrates the vivid tones of his homeland, so the lighter reads as a small piece of art you carry, not a plain badge.
Genuine Zippo build, made in the USA
Under the art is a real Zippo. The all-brass Classic case flips open with the signature click, and the flame burns inside a windproof chimney that stays lit when a normal disposable would blow out. It is refillable for life with Zippo premium lighter fluid, and the flint and wick swap out easily. Every Zippo is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania and backed by the Zippo lifetime guarantee, so one lighter can last for years.

Questions & Answers
What is the Paradise artwork on the John Smith Gumbula 48964?
It is the Paradise design by John Smith Gumbula, an Australian Aboriginal artist and cultural ambassador with over 30 years in the arts. The Color Image print shows a soaring tropical bird and a sea turtle in his indigenous style, in a Multi Color finish that celebrates the vivid tones of his homeland.
Does the 48964 come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, it ships with an empty tank because fuel cannot be shipped inside the lighter. You add Zippo premium lighter fluid before the first use, and the wick and windscreen are built around that fluid. Lighter fluid is sold separately at El Paso Smoke Shops.
Does the John Smith Gumbula Zippo stay lit in the wind?
Yes, it is genuinely wind-resistant. The flame burns inside a perforated chimney windscreen that shelters it while still feeding it air, so a well-fueled Zippo stays lit in stiff wind that would snuff a normal disposable lighter. In a very strong gale any open flame can still be pushed around, so treat it as highly wind-resistant.
How do I refill and maintain the 48964?
The Paradise tropical-bird and sea-turtle artwork is printed on the case, so servicing the insert leaves the Color Image untouched. Take the insert out, lift the felt pad on the bottom, and dampen the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, stopping short of dripping. Replace the flint at the underside screw when the spark dulls, and thread a fresh wick as the flame shrinks.
Is the John Smith Gumbula 48964 backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee?
The guarantee covers the lighter's function, summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the mechanism ever fails, you send it to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and they repair the working parts at no charge. We sell the lighter and Zippo performs the repair. It does not cover the Paradise artwork or surface scratches.
What is the John Smith Gumbula case made of and where is it made?
The 48964 uses Zippo's all-brass Classic case with the Paradise Color Image art applied over a Multi Color finish. It is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has built its windproof lighters since 1932. It is an all-metal lighter with the signature Zippo click.
Is the John Smith Gumbula Zippo legal to buy in Texas?
Yes. A Zippo is a refillable flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device, and it is legal to buy in Texas. Because it is a lighter, sales are restricted to guests 21 or older, and we check a valid government-issued photo ID at the counter at El Paso Smoke Shops.
How does the Paradise artwork compare to a plain Zippo, and is the 48964 a good gift?
It is one of our more giftable Zippos. Where a plain black matte or brushed-chrome Zippo is understated, the Paradise artwork makes this a colorful, art-forward piece, and it arrives in a Zippo gift box. Pair it with a can of lighter fluid so it is ready to light out of the box.
How much does the John Smith Gumbula (48964) cost?
It is $38.95 at El Paso Smoke Shops. That price is for the lighter itself, which ships empty, so add a separate can of Zippo premium lighter fluid before the first light. Check your nearest store for current stock, reserve online, and pick it up today.
Sales restricted to guests 21 or older; valid government-issued photo ID is required at pickup. This is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty with no fuel in the tank, so premium lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before the first use. Use responsibly and keep away from children.
