Zippo Leaf Skull Pineapple Design Windproof Lighter, High Polish Chrome (49241)

The Zippo Leaf Skull Pineapple Windproof Lighter (49241) pairs a classic Zippo chassis with a Color Image design that drops a vivid skull inside a tropical pineapple. It is a windproof, refillable, all-metal pocket lighter in a high polish chrome finish, and like every genuine Zippo windproof pocket lighter it carries the brand’s lifetime guarantee. Below our Hosts break down the design, the finish, how to fuel and maintain it, and exactly what the guarantee covers, with the specs kept separate in the table so you can compare quickly.

A Skull With a Tropical Twist

The 49241 takes Zippo’s long-running skull motif and reworks it as a colorful pineapple-skull, fusing a memento-mori skull with a bright, summery pineapple. Skull artwork is one of Zippo’s most collected themes, produced across many finishes and imprint methods, and this colorful crossover gives the familiar skull a playful, eye-catching read. It is a strong everyday carry for Guests who want a Zippo with personality rather than a plain polished case, and it makes an easy gift pick.

High Polish Chrome and the Color Image Print

The case is solid brass under a high polish chrome finish, so it reads as a bright, mirror-like silver. The artwork is applied with Zippo’s Color Image process, which prints the full-color design directly onto the case. Color Image printing is scratch-resistant rather than scratch-proof, so the realistic move is to keep the lighter away from keys, coins, and other sharp objects in the same pocket and to avoid splashing lighter fluid directly on the printed area when you refuel. Treated that way, the print holds its color for years.

Windproof by Design, Built in Bradford

The signature windproof chimney is what lets a Zippo flame hold up against wind where a standard flame would blow out, which is why these lighters earned their reputation outdoors. Zippo has manufactured its windproof pocket lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932, and the 49241 keeps the same refillable, all-metal construction and the distinctive Zippo click on open and close. This is a flame lighter for cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and candles. It is not a vape, not an electronic device, and not a concealment product.

Fuel, Flints, and Everyday Care

Your Zippo arrives empty, so add fuel before first use. Lift the inner unit out of the case and slowly saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, stopping once the felt is soaked so it does not overfill or leak. The lighter is engineered to work best with Zippo fluid and flints. With frequent use you may top off the fuel about once a week, and fluid slowly evaporates even when idle, so keep the lid closed between uses. When the spark weakens, swap in fresh replacement flints, and after long service you can fit a replacement wick to bring the flame back. These are the only consumables a Zippo needs, which is why one case can last for decades.

Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee

Every genuine Zippo windproof pocket lighter is covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee, summed up as it works or Zippo fixes it free. The guarantee covers the lighter’s mechanical function; if the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and Zippo repairs it free of charge. Note that the guarantee covers function, not the printed Color Image artwork or cosmetic wear. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter and Zippo honors the guarantee.
