Product description
Looking for the Zippo Santa Cruz windproof lighter in El Paso? This black matte Classic wears Eric Dressen’s signature rose and knots wrapped around the Santa Cruz logo in full color. Stop by any El Paso Smoke Shops location, check store stock, and pick one up today with a valid 21+ photo ID.
A licensed Santa Cruz design by Eric Dressen
The art comes from Eric Dressen, the Santa Cruz skateboarder and tattoo artist. His signature rose sits tangled in a web of intricate knots that circle the Santa Cruz Skateboards logo, printed edge to edge in full color with Zippo’s Color Image process. The black matte case keeps the background low-key so the rose and knot work stand out. It is part of Zippo’s officially licensed Santa Cruz series and lands as collector-friendly art rather than a loud graphic.
Genuine Zippo build, guaranteed for life
Under the artwork it is a true Zippo. The all-brass Classic case snaps open and shut with the familiar click, and the chimney windscreen keeps the flame lit in wind that snuffs ordinary lighters. It is refillable for life with Zippo premium lighter fuel, and the flint and wick swap out in seconds. Every Zippo is made in the USA at the Bradford, Pennsylvania factory and backed by the lifetime guarantee: it works or we fix it free. It ships empty, so add fuel before the first light.
Swing by your nearest El Paso Smoke Shops for the Santa Cruz Zippo. It arrives gift-boxed, ready to give or carry every day. Check store stock, reserve online, and pick yours up the same day with a valid 21+ photo ID at the counter.

Questions & Answers
What is the Eric Dressen Santa Cruz artwork on the 48742?
It shows tattoo artist and Santa Cruz skateboarder Eric Dressen's signature rose tangled in a web of knots wrapping around the Santa Cruz Skateboards logo. Zippo prints it in full color with its Color Image process on a black matte case, part of the officially licensed Santa Cruz series.
Does the Santa Cruz 48742 come filled with lighter fluid?
No. Like every Zippo, it ships with an empty tank because fuel cannot travel inside the lighter. Fill it with Zippo premium lighter fuel before the first use, and add a little to the felt when the flame weakens. Lighter fluid is sold separately.
Does the black matte Santa Cruz Zippo stay lit in the wind?
Yes, it is genuinely wind-resistant. The flame burns inside a perforated chimney that shelters it while still feeding it air, so a well-fueled Zippo stays lit in stiff wind that would snuff a normal disposable lighter. In a strong gale any open flame can still be pushed around.
How do I refill and maintain the black matte Santa Cruz 48742?
The Eric Dressen rose art sits on the black matte case, so refueling the insert leaves it pristine. Pull the insert, lift the felt pad, and saturate the packing with Zippo premium lighter fluid just to the point of damp, wiping off any surplus. Change the flint at the underside screw when the wheel spins without a spark, and thread a new wick as the flame drops.
Does Zippo's lifetime guarantee cover the Santa Cruz 48742?
Zippo's lifetime guarantee covers how the lighter works, summed up as it works or we fix it free. If the mechanism ever fails, Zippo repairs the working parts at no charge at its Bradford factory. We sell the lighter and Zippo handles the repair. The printed Santa Cruz artwork and finish are not covered.
What is the Santa Cruz Zippo's case made of and where is it made?
The 48742 uses Zippo's all-brass Classic case finished in black matte, and it is made in the USA at Zippo's Bradford, Pennsylvania factory, where every Zippo has been built since 1932. It is an all-metal lighter with the signature Zippo click.
Is the Santa Cruz Zippo legal to buy in Texas?
Yes. A refillable flame lighter like the Santa Cruz Zippo is legal to buy in Texas. It is not a vape and not a concealment device. Texas law sets the minimum age at 21, so bring a valid photo ID and our hosts will check it at the counter when you pick it up.
How does the Santa Cruz 48742 compare to a plain Zippo, and does it make a good gift?
Yes, it makes a strong gift because it arrives in a Zippo gift box and the licensed Eric Dressen artwork stands out more than a plain chrome or brushed case. Mechanically it is the same refillable, windproof, lifetime-guaranteed lighter, so you get collector-friendly art with everyday reliability.
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.
