Dion Giolito is adding the tenth size to the Illusione Epernay line, L’Excellence—a Churchill that he claims is his favorite size in the line. As first reported by Gregory Mottola, Epernay L’Excellence will debut in November with a retail price of $9.50.

The news comes after an IPCPR show where Giolito introduced nothing new, despite hints at new projects prior to IPCPR.
