It's a good question, but some have gone under the radar. The Upmann Regalias and Majestics were relaunched as long fillers after being discontinued as short fillers about 2002. Both nice little cigars. Then there are the Noellas, came out in 2010, still being made. Until recently were some of the best value in Cuba at about $122 for the jar of 25.
Partagas Aristocrats, Habaneros, Mille Fleurs, Deluxe, Super Partagas. All relaunched as long filler this century and 42 or below.
Then there's Romeo y Julieta, plenty of them relaunched as long filler. As well as the Julietas being launched at 33rg.
The problem is, they fly under the radar because, to be honest, the majority of cigar buyers don't care about them. They're not sexy.
There probably is a gap in the market for a long panetela/Laguito No. 1. An El Rey del Mundo, or La Gloria Cubana 38 X 192 (Grandes de España type thing). But hard to produce at a profit and hard to market to American and Chinese buyers. The La Reina sold well, so maybe that might light a fire under them.
