Zippo Mountain Design Windproof Lighter, High Polish Teal (49461)
About this item
- Genuine windproof flame that holds steady outdoors and in a gusty El Paso breeze, then snuffs out the moment you snap the lid shut.
- Mirror-bright High Polish Teal case that shifts between turquoise and lime as the light moves, with the Mountain design color imaged through a frame of pine trees.
- Refillable for life: top it off with lighter fluid and swap the flint and wick, so it keeps lighting for decades instead of landing in the trash like a disposable.
- All-metal Classic case with the unmistakable Zippo click, slim enough for a pocket at 1.5 x 0.5 x 2.25 inches.
- Backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free, with no receipt and no time limit.
- Arrives in a Zippo gift box, ready to give, and stocked at select El Paso Smoke Shops stores (check the live availability on this page).
Product description
The Zippo Mountain Design Windproof Lighter in High Polish Teal (model 49461) is a genuine, refillable Zippo from the Color Image collection: a mirror-bright teal Classic brass case wrapped around Zippo’s windproof flame, built in Bradford, Pennsylvania and backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. It arrives in a Zippo gift box and ships empty of fuel, so add lighter fluid before the first light. El Paso Smoke Shops keeps this lighter at select stores, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso location has it on the shelf right now.
The Mountain Design, Color Imaged on Teal
The 49461 takes a breathtaking view that peers through a frame of pine trees to a mountainside in the distance and color images it across the full face of the case. The High Polish Teal finish is the real showpiece: a deep, reflective surface that shifts between Caribbean turquoise and tropical lime tones as the light catches it and moves. That mirror-like sheen is what makes this one stand out next to a plain matte or satin Zippo, and it makes the Mountain artwork read with real depth. It is a clean, outdoorsy design for anyone with an adventurous streak, and a recognizable piece for Zippo collectors who track the Color Image releases.
How the Windproof Flame Works
A genuine Zippo runs on liquid fuel. A cotton wick draws Zippo premium lighter fluid up from a packed reservoir, the flint wheel throws a spark, and the vaporized fuel catches into a flame that the windscreen chimney keeps lit even in a breeze. There is no auto shutoff, so you close the lid to put the flame out, which also slows how fast the fuel evaporates. Upkeep is built into the design rather than a flaw: drop in fresh replacement flints when the spark starts to fade, and fit a replacement wick once the old one frays and darkens. With those simple swaps the windproof flame keeps working for decades.
Built in Bradford and Guaranteed for Life
Every 49461 is an authentic Zippo, manufactured at the Zippo factory in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and stamped on the bottom with the dated code that real Zippos carry. It is covered by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee, the famous it works or Zippo fixes it free promise that has stood since the brand’s founder put it in writing. The guarantee covers defects in material and workmanship for the life of the owner, with no receipt and no time limit; if it ever stops sparking or flaming, the lighter goes to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford and Zippo repairs or replaces it at no charge. Normal wear and misuse are not covered. To be clear on who does what: El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo honors the repair.
Caring for the High Polish Teal Finish
A high polish case is a chrome-plated surface sealed with a thin, scratch-resistant coating, so it holds its shine for years of pocket carry. The trade-off with any mirror finish is that it shows fingerprints and the occasional hairline mark more readily than a satin or brushed case. The fix is easy: a quick wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth clears the smudges and brings the shifting teal-to-turquoise color right back. Keeping the lid closed when it is not in use protects the finish and keeps the fuel from evaporating as quickly.
A Collectible Gift, Stocked Across El Paso
The 49461 ships in a Zippo gift box, so it is ready to give without extra wrapping, and the windproof flame plus the lifetime guarantee make it a practical gift rather than a novelty. It is a strong pick for a birthday, a holiday, or a first Zippo for a collector.

Questions & Answers
Does the Zippo Mountain Design lighter come filled with fuel?
No. Like every Zippo, the 49461 ships empty for safe transport, so it needs fuel before the first light. Lift the felt pad inside, saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid until it reaches the top of the packing, then wipe your hands and close the lid. Lighter fluid is sold separately.
Is the 49461 a genuine Zippo, and where is it made?
Yes. This is an authentic Zippo windproof lighter, manufactured at the Zippo factory in Bradford, Pennsylvania, and it carries the dated bottom stamp that every real Zippo wears. The Mountain artwork belongs to Zippo's Color Image line, printed across a High Polish Teal Classic case.
How often do I need to refill it, and why does the fuel drop when I am not using it?
Zippo lighter fluid is naphtha based and evaporates slowly even when the lighter sits unused, so plan to top it off before a trip or a night out. Keeping the lid fully closed slows that evaporation. A refill takes under a minute and there is no waiting period before you can light it again.
Will the High Polish Teal finish scratch or show fingerprints?
The mirror-bright finish is a chrome-plated case sealed with a thin, scratch-resistant coating, so it holds up for years of pocket carry. That said, any high polish surface shows fingerprints and the occasional hairline mark more readily than a satin or brushed finish. A quick wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth restores the shine and the shifting teal-to-turquoise color.
What does Zippo's lifetime guarantee actually cover?
Zippo's promise is simple: it works or Zippo fixes it free. Every Zippo windproof lighter is guaranteed against defects in material and workmanship for the life of the owner, with no receipt and no time limit. If it ever fails to spark or flame, you send it to the Zippo Repair Clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and Zippo repairs or replaces it at no charge. The guarantee does not cover normal wear or misuse. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the repair.
Can I replace the flint and wick myself instead of sending it in?
Yes, and it counts as normal upkeep rather than a warranty repair. When the spark weakens, drop in fresh replacement flints; when the wick darkens and frays, fit a replacement wick and trim it to height. Both swaps take a couple of minutes and keep the windproof flame strong for the long haul.
Must be 21+ with a valid government-issued ID to purchase. This is a windproof, open-flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty of fuel; Zippo premium lighter fluid is sold separately and must be added before first use. Keep away from children, and never carry a fueled lighter near heat. The lifetime guarantee is Zippo's: El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter, and Zippo repairs it free under its guarantee.
