The Zippo 49916 Compass Design Lighter looks like something a retired sea captain might keep tucked inside the pocket of an old wax jacket next to a questionable map and a flask of something medicinal.

Finished with a detailed vintage-style compass and antique map design, it’s got that proper old-world exploration feel about it. Warm sepia tones, weathered chart markings and the sort of styling that makes you immediately want to refer to everywhere as “uncharted waters”.

Thankfully, unlike most explorers of old, this one actually works reliably.

Built on the classic genuine Zippo windproof lighter, it delivers that unmistakable solid feel in the hand and the familiar click that somehow sounds more expensive than it really ought to. Reliable in wind, rain and whatever miserable sideways weather Britain decides to produce this week.

The compass artwork suits it beautifully too. Smart without being flashy. A proper gentleman’s lighter rather than one covered in skulls, flames and other nonsense usually found near motorway service stations.

Ideal for pipe smokers, cigar smokers, collectors or anybody who still appreciates things built to last longer than a phone contract.

Comes boxed and ready for gifting — though you may well decide to keep it yourself once you’ve heard the lid snap shut a few times.
