I believe it is the same band as the infamous (and fake) barber-pole Cohiba. There was a thread recently on the subject (Question about a unique Cohiba), with a picture. Just scroll down in this section.
Check it out and report back...

Fake. The only band that should be under a sublime is the limited edition band with the year (which I cannot remember which year the sublime came out).

Ha, I learned a long time ago that there are about 5 pronounciations for anything cigar related, and I don't pretend to know which ones are correct. I find that in Canada, things tend to get more of a french flair than a spanish one.

sublimes were made in 2004, and I'm hoping in 2009 (if the piramides patern continues)
How could that be the proper pronunciation, SS? The proper spanish pronunciation would always accent the second to last syllable UNLESS marked with an accent mark pointing at the syllable to be accented. I am not always right, especially when I post, but I did take enough Spanish to know to accent esplenDIdo. But again, like I said, I'd rather smoke em than pronounce them around other people. And I DID make an A in Spanish 1 and a D in Spanish 2.

I used to say it Es-plen-DEE-do until I was corrected by Hamlet at the RyJ LCDH in Havana. Es-PLEN-di-do was the only way I heard it pronounced by any Cuban while there, so I figured they would know how to pronounce their product better than my 11th grade Spanish teacher would!
Just like English, there are exceptions to every rule. I know a woman named Eulogia (pronounced u-LO-he-ah, not u-lo-HE-ah. Also, think of the actress Rosario Dawson. The emphasis is on the "a" not the "i". And there is no accent placed on either name.
