Zippo Pop Art Zippo Design Lighter, Color Image, Sky Blue Matte

The Zippo Pop Art Design lighter, model 48722, turns Zippo’s own icon into the artwork. A vivid Color Image collage of classic windproof lighters covers a Sky Blue Matte brass case, a playful nod to the 1950s pop-art movement that made everyday objects the subject. Underneath the art it is a genuine Zippo: an all-metal windproof lighter with the unmistakable click, refillable for a lifetime of use, and protected by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. Our Hosts stock Zippo across El Paso Smoke Shops, and this one ships empty, so you add your own Zippo premium lighter fluid before the first light.

The Pop Art Sky Blue Matte design, decoded

The art on the 48722 is a Color Image collage of classic Zippo windproof lighters layered across a Sky Blue Matte finish. It belongs to Zippo’s Pop Art line, which draws on the pop-art movement’s habit of celebrating familiar mass-produced objects, in this case the Zippo itself. The matte sky-blue case keeps the background soft so the printed collage reads clearly from across a room. Color Image printing wraps high-detail artwork onto the case, and the result is a collector-friendly piece that still works as an everyday carry.

Windproof by design, refillable for life

Like every genuine Zippo, this lighter is built to stay lit. Striking the flint wheel sparks fuel vapor drawn up through the wick, and the metal windscreen around the flame lets it hold in wind where many lighters would blow out. The case is solid brass with the trademark hinged lid and Zippo click. It is fully refillable, so instead of tossing it you simply top it off, which is why a single Zippo can last for decades of daily use.

Zippo's lifetime guarantee, made in Bradford

Zippo has built its windproof lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since 1932, and every one carries the company’s lifetime guarantee, summed up by Zippo as “it works or Zippo fixes it free.” If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and they repair it at no charge. El Paso Smoke Shops sells the lighter; Zippo honors the guarantee and performs any repair. That promise is one reason a Zippo is treated as a keep-it-forever object rather than a disposable.

Keeping it lit: fuel, flints, and wick

A new Zippo ships empty for safe shipping, so the first step is filling it with Zippo premium lighter fluid: lift the felt pad, saturate the packing, and stop when the fuel reaches the top. A full Zippo holds enough for roughly two weeks of regular use, and because the fluid slowly evaporates it is normal to refuel before heavy use. When sparks get weak, swap in fresh replacement flints, and after long service you can fit a replacement wick. These simple parts are what let a single Zippo run for years.

The Zippo Pop Art Design lighter in Sky Blue Matte is equal parts collectible and workhorse: standout Color Image art on a genuine windproof, refillable Zippo backed by the brand’s lifetime guarantee. It ships empty and is intended for adults 21 and older. To grab one in person, check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso Smoke Shops location currently has the 48722 in stock.
