Product description
Looking for the Zippo Panda windproof lighter in El Paso? Model 28860 wears a White Matte Classic case with soft color imaging that shapes a panda’s face on the front. It is refillable, windproof, and ready to check and pick up the same day at El Paso Smoke Shops.
The panda design, up close
The face of model 28860 starts as a bright White Matte base. Zippo then applies color imaging to add a few simple black-and-white markings that read clearly as a panda looking back at you. It is a lighthearted animal theme, not a limited collector series, so it makes an easy gift or an everyday carry. The rest of the case stays clean matte white, which keeps the little panda the star of the show.
Windproof, refillable, built to last
Behind the artwork sits a genuine Zippo. The flame burns inside a perforated chimney windscreen, so it stays lit in wind that snuffs a normal lighter, and it closes with the unmistakable Zippo click. The all-brass Classic case is refillable for life: top it up with premium Zippo lighter fluid, swap the flint when the spark fades, and fit a fresh wick when the flame shrinks. Every part is serviceable, and Zippo backs the mechanism for a lifetime.
Swing by your nearest El Paso Smoke Shops for the Zippo Panda. Check store stock, reserve online, and pick it up the same day with a valid 21+ photo ID at the counter. It ships empty, so grab premium lighter fluid too.

Questions & Answers
What is the panda design on the white matte 28860?
It is a lighthearted animal theme. Model 28860 starts with a White Matte case, then color imaging adds simple black-and-white markings that form a panda's face on the front. Zippo made it as a fun, panda-themed classic rather than a limited collector edition, so it reads as a friendly everyday piece.
Does the Panda 28860 arrive filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, it ships with an empty tank because fuel cannot travel inside the lighter. You fill it before the first use with genuine Zippo premium lighter fluid, which the wick and windscreen are built around. Fluid is sold separately, so pick some up when you grab the lighter.
Does the white matte Panda Zippo stay lit in a breeze?
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 plain disposable. In a strong gale any open flame can be pushed around, so call it highly wind-resistant.
How do I refill the 28860 without marking its white matte case?
Refueling the Panda works entirely inside the insert, leaving the white matte print clean. Ease the insert from the case, raise the felt pad on its underside, and trickle Zippo premium lighter fluid into the packing to a damp finish, never dripping. Seat a replacement flint through the spring-loaded bottom screw when the spark fades, and add a new wick after the flame shortens.
Is the Panda 28860 backed by Zippo's lifetime guarantee?
Zippo's lifetime mechanical guarantee covers how the lighter works, summed up as "it works or we fix it free." If the mechanism ever fails, you send it to Zippo's repair clinic in Bradford, Pennsylvania and they service the working parts at no charge. It does not cover the panda artwork, the matte finish, or normal scratches.
What is the Panda Zippo's case made of and where is it built?
The Panda uses Zippo's all-brass Classic case with a White Matte finish, and it is made in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where Zippo has built windproof lighters since 1932. It is an all-metal lighter that closes with the signature Zippo click. Zippo cases are brass even when a spec sheet loosely lists them as metal.
Is the Panda Zippo legal to buy in Texas?
Yes. A Zippo is a refillable flame lighter, not a vape or a tobacco product, so it is legal to buy in Texas. At El Paso Smoke Shops we still sell lighters only to guests 21 or older and check a valid photo ID at the counter. Bring your ID when you come to pick it up.
How does the white matte Panda compare to a plain chrome Zippo as a gift?
The Panda is a great pick if you want a playful, gift-ready Zippo instead of a plain metal or a bold graphic case. The White Matte base and soft panda art feel friendly rather than flashy, while it still runs the same windproof, refillable mechanism as every other Classic Zippo. It makes an easy present for an animal lover.
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.
