Humidor should be fine. Wipe it down with distilled water and leave it open to dry out for a day or two. Repeat this until any mineral or salt residue is gone, then re-season it and you should be fine.
Depends, what issues did you have with the cigars? I did the same thing a loooong time ago and just let the humi dry out, wiped it down a few times with distilled, let it dry out again and reseasoned it. I'm still using it today with zero issues.
:puts on flame suit: I use tap water. no problems here. I have a 50ct. with about $400 in sticks. never had mold or weird tastes or anything else.
:Adjusts flamethrower nozzle setting to "high.": Blasphemy!
I used bottled water the whole time I was in Afghanistan (they don't know what distilled water is there) and had no problems. I was able to get some distilled and sanitized water from the medics though, but I sent that to someone else in country ha
I would think its all about your local water supply. If you've got soft water with a low hardness you may be ok. Here in Limestone country rocks come out of the tap so I wouldn't dare.

Yeah, I'm in Iraq now and have been using bottled water, I was hoping that it would turn out ok. Hadn't thought about getting distilled water from the medics though, but, I figure they need it more than my cigars do...

You might be surprised at how much they have though, they were pretty willing to share. I told them that if they ever wanted a smoke I would be more than willing to share, although they never did stop by. Oh well that just meant more for me! I'd suggest asking them, one bottle of that stuff should last you a whole deployment, especially if you are using beads. If you aren't, get some! Those things are amazingly efficient and worry free.
I'm lucky to live in pretty high humidity so I rarely have to put water in my humidor, but I haven't used distilled water in about 8 years. If my humidity gets low (very rare occasion) I just put a shot glass of tap water and I'm fine. Never had any problem. This is for a 20 count humidor, a 100 count humidor, and a bookcase humidor that probably fits several hundred cigars.

Trans should have some, they use it for batteries. Otherwise shoot me a PM and I'll send you some.
I am in Iraq as well. The medics and trans personnel as already mentioned are a good place to start. You may have more resources available to you than I do. I am on a small FOB with next to nothing. I mailed some to myself on my last R&R. I did however speak with the people who were bottling our water and it is as pure as it gets and is a good substitute for distilled water. Keep doing what your doing and you should be ok. Good luck!
