Kris Noteboom - Owner
I don’t know what it was. Really. Nothing in my life had primed me to be a cigar aficionado. Yet, on my 18th birthday I bought my first cigar with the kind of self-assured confidence typically reserved for a much greater man than me. Maybe it was somehow a hidden hereditary thread. Perhaps something divine. Regardless, my love of cigars was immediate and unflinching, and I’ve spent much of my time over the last 20+ years with my brothers and sisters of the leaf in cigar shops. And, now I get to realize a longtime dream by opening a cigar shop with the very friends I’ve made through our shared passions for this special plant and the fulfillment and fellowship it has brought to our lives.
Nathan Siegele - Owner
I had my first cigar one summer when I was 21. I sat on my porch with a group of friends talking for hours. My first cigar experience taught me two things. 1) I love cigars. 2.) I love the fellowship and community that happens when people take a break from life and enjoy a good smoke together. It has been my dream to create a space where all people can come together and have fellowship. For me that reality is Wilde Cigars. This is the space I’ve hoped and dreamed of creating for years. So, come have a smoke with me sometime and we can talk.
Kim Jackson - Bar Manager
Kim discovered her love of cigars, and a lifelong friendship with Wilde owner Kris Noteboom, while attending college in a small west Texas town in 2001. From there, her adventurous spirit took her to New York City, where she started bartending in 2010, and expanded her cigar palate at local cigar lounges. Back on home soil in 2016, Kim continued her Bartending career in several Fort Worth based cigar shops. There she enjoyed experimenting with interesting pairings of cigars with port, beer and creative cocktails. Kim brings her passion for art to the formation of creative drinks at Wilde’s fully stocked bar. She is also the artist behind a line of original Cigar Band art showcased on K Jack art on Instagram.
