Product description
The Zippo Classic High Polish Rose Gold Windproof Lighter (49190) takes the lighter that has worked since 1932 and wraps it in a warm, mirror-bright rose gold finish over a solid brass case. It is a genuine, fully refillable Zippo with the windproof design and the unmistakable Zippo click. It ships empty, runs on Zippo premium lighter fluid, and is backed by Zippo’s lifetime guarantee. We stock this lighter at select El Paso Smoke Shops locations, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso store has it.
A Windproof Icon Born in Bradford
Zippo has built its windproof lighters in Bradford, Pennsylvania since George G. Blaisdell founded the company in 1932, after watching a friend struggle with a clumsy lighter. His answer was an all-metal case with a windshield around the wick that keeps the flame burning when an ordinary lighter would blow out. The 49190 carries that same engineering forward. Flip the lid for the signature Zippo click, spin the flint wheel, and you get a steady flame whether you are on a patio or stepping outside in the El Paso wind. The mechanism is the same proven design Zippo has refined for more than 90 years.
The High Polish Rose Gold Finish
The High Polish Rose Gold finish is what sets the 49190 apart from the standard chrome Classic. It is a plated, mirror-bright rose gold over a solid brass case, giving the lighter a soft, warm, almost jewelry-like glow that reads luxurious without any engraved design or pattern. Because the finish is plated rather than solid gold, keep the shine by wiping it with a soft cloth and avoiding abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals. The clean, plain face also leaves plenty of smooth surface if you ever decide to have it engraved.
Refillable for Life: Fuel, Flint, and Wick
A Zippo is built to be refilled, not thrown away. The 49190 arrives empty, so your first step is to saturate the cotton packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid, stopping before it overflows. Fuel evaporates slowly even with the lid closed, so frequent users top off about once a week. Over time the lighter also wants the occasional flint and, eventually, a fresh wick. The flint usually needs swapping every few weeks of regular use, and our Hosts can set you up with replacement flints. The wick lasts for years and only needs a replacement wick once it has been trimmed a few times and starts to darken. Keep up those three small items and a single Zippo can last decades.
Backed by Zippo's Lifetime Guarantee
Every genuine Zippo, including the 49190, carries Zippo’s famous lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free. If the lighter mechanism ever stops working, you send it to Zippo and Zippo repairs it free, with no time limit and no repair charge. That guarantee is honored by Zippo, the manufacturer, not by El Paso Smoke Shops. We sell and stock the lighter; Zippo stands behind the repair. It is one big reason a Zippo is often handed down rather than tossed out.
Mirror-bright, refillable, and genuinely built to last, the rose gold 49190 arrives in a Zippo gift box that makes it an easy keepsake for men or women, collectors, weddings, and birthdays, or simply a sharp everyday carry. You must be 21 or older with a valid ID to purchase, and the lighter ships empty so you can fuel it once you get home. El Paso Smoke Shops runs 10 locations across El Paso, TX; check the live availability on this page to see which store has the 49190 in stock today.

Questions & Answers
Is the rose gold Zippo 49190 real gold, and will the finish tarnish?
No, it is not solid gold. The High Polish Rose Gold is a plated, mirror-bright finish over a solid brass case. Like any polished metal, it can lose some luster over time with wear and exposure to lotions, perfumes, or household cleaners, but it does not tarnish the way silver does. Keep the shine by wiping it with a soft cloth and avoiding abrasive cleaners and harsh chemicals.
Does this Zippo come with lighter fluid?
No. Like every genuine Zippo, the 49190 ships empty for safe transport and runs on lighter fluid sold separately. Fill it before first use with Zippo premium lighter fluid, which is engineered for the windproof design. It is a flame lighter, not a vape or a concealment device.
How do I fill the lighter, and how long does the fuel last?
Lift the insert out of the case, fold back the felt pad, and slowly saturate the cotton packing, stopping when the fluid reaches the top of the packing so it does not overfill or leak. Wipe your hands and the case before lighting. Fuel evaporates slowly even with the lid closed, so if you use the lighter often you will likely top it off about once a week.
How often do the flint and wick need replacing?
For an average user the flint usually needs replacing every few weeks, and you can keep spare replacement flints on hand. The wick lasts much longer; trim it once or twice a year, and after it has been trimmed a few times and darkens from carbon buildup, install a replacement wick. With those small parts, the lighter itself keeps going for years.
What is Zippo's lifetime guarantee, and who repairs the lighter?
Every genuine Zippo carries an unconditional lifetime guarantee: it works or Zippo fixes it free, with no time limit and no questions asked. If the mechanism ever fails, you send the lighter to Zippo and Zippo repairs it free of charge. The guarantee is honored by Zippo, the manufacturer. El Paso Smoke Shops sells and stocks the lighter; Zippo stands behind the repair.
Does a rose gold Zippo make a good gift?
Yes. The 49190 arrives in a Zippo gift box, and the warm rose gold finish is versatile enough to suit men or women, which makes it popular for birthdays, weddings, groomsmen, and collectors. The plain Classic case also takes engraving well if you want to personalize it. Stock varies by store, so check the live availability on this page to see which El Paso Smoke Shops location has it.
You must be 21 or older with a valid government-issued ID to purchase at El Paso Smoke Shops. This is a windproof flame lighter, not a vape and not a concealment device. It ships empty for safe transport; Zippo premium lighter fluid is sold separately. Use and store responsibly, away from children and open flame. Zippo's lifetime guarantee is honored by Zippo, the manufacturer, not by El Paso Smoke Shops.
