Menzel: BBB
Fa: Zigarettenfabrik (Cigarette factory)

Manoli was the name of a German cigarette factory. It was founded by Jakob Mandelbaum (* 1859; † October 23, 1918) in Berlin, initially under the name Cigarette Factory Argos, and in 1897 it is said to have been named after Jakob Mandelbaum's wife Ilona Mandelbaum (read backwards). The origin of the name cannot be proven with certainty, because Jacob Mandelbaum's wife's name was Rosa and she was born in Jotzen in 1857. There are suggestions that Manoli may have been a nickname of Jacob Mandelbaum.

Another variant of the naming names a foreign language as the origin, in which Mandelbaum is translated as Manoli.

The company was known for its excellent packaging design. The Manoli corporate logo, found on merchandise, corporate trucks, window displays and promotional materials, is often cited as an early example of corporate design.
