The Monolith owes its name to its large stature and to the craftsmanship that highlights its monolithic character, including the flush-mounted front door and the recessed glass lid. Like massive stones from an ancient age, our Monolith humidor is conceived as a solid, freestanding piece of furniture.
The Humidor Monolith takes its name in reference to the rocks that were created with great force from one piece. This cigar cabinet is also made as if from one piece. Ideal for the elegance of fine woods. Nothing disturbs the sight on the cubist surfaces. The eye rests on the unique veneer grains of our exclusive woods.

The Monolith is the perfect cigar cabinet to enjoy fine woods. The simple shape perfectly accentuates exceptional veneers. The pyramid mahogany is a particularly beautiful wood. A warm red hue with unique flames.
The humid air should stay in the humidor, so we attach great importance to tightness of our cigar cabinets. We work with a sealing layer and a multi-point locking system that securely closes the humidor.
The glass in the lid of the Humidor Monolith is recessed flush. The surface is smooth and even. No visible edge disturbs the perfect visual sensation. There are also no edges in the way when looking at the cigars. The glass puts the cigars in the best possible light.
The cigar cabinet is suitable for storing loose cigars and cigar boxes. The upper shelves can be beveled for presentation of loose cigars. Boxes can be stacked.
The light can be connected to the electrical system of the room or in the standard version can be switched with a remote control.

crowns the pleasure with the perfect combination of optimal cigar storage, luxurious appearance and state-of-the-art equipment. Embedded in the aroma of Spanish cedar, the cigars can develop their unique taste.
Each type of wood and each piece of wood has individual growth characteristics; therefore, each veneered Gerber humidor is also truly unique. These growth characteristics are not defects, but typical of wood.
Every tree and every type of wood has individual characteristics, such as special grains, small knot growths or interesting color variations. They contribute significantly to its characteristic surface of our Gerber cigar cabinets.
Maple, beech or other, especially light-colored, veneers can be produced unsteamed and steamed. By the so-called boiling in hot water two effects are achieved: The wood is given the necessary suppleness to ensure a perfect finishing quality. And the duration of the boiling or steaming process affects the color of the veneer. With some woods, there may be slight pinkish tones in the wood. This ensures the uniqueness and the worldwide unique quality for a genuine Gerber humidor – the best for the best cigar storage.
Smoking is a staining process used as early as 150 years ago. It involves steaming the wood with ammonia. All woods rich in tannins, such as oak, pine, larch, service tree, apple tree and Douglas fir are suitable for smoking.
The reaction of the acid in the wood with ammonia as a base produces the dark coloration. The discoloration remains absolutely stable to aging and as far as possible to light. Veneers such as smoked oak or smoked eucalyptus are particularly popular with Gerber Humidor customers. Wonderful unique pieces are created for cigar lovers that offer the best in cigar storage worldwide.
The joining of successive veneer sheets of a bundle or a whole log to form a larger veneer surface is called veneer unwinding or veneer sequence. Most popular for processing fine Gerber humidor woods is the technique of tumbling.
In the process of overturning, the veneers are selected and assembled so that two sheets of veneer face each other in a mirror image (similar to an open book, hence the term „bookmatch“ in English). The mirror image effect is particularly prominent when vividly grained veneers are selected.
