It’s a lovely dugout, I’m sure it will last. But what I REALLY want to rave about is the bat. It’s longer than my last one, which had always made it hard to load. It has a longer thick brass tip before the shaft ribbing starts, so moist gunk doesn’t clog the first rib shortly after using, and make it burn hotter. It has MORE ribs, so it distributes the heat faster and doesn’t burn your fingers or lips. It has a flat mouth-side surface so it cleans easier because there isn’t an inner ribbing that holds gunk when you poke it. I want to buy 5 more before the zombipocolypse hits and they are no longer available. But for the decently crafted dugout, it’s well made and pretty and durable. Stay for the superior bat, I can’t imagine I’ll find a finer one.
