Cigars/Distalled water or RO (reverse osmosis)

Question
Hello, I have been making my own water for my Humidor with Reverse Osmosis and things have been going ok, but I read on this web site that we should only use distilled water. Is it a bad idea to use RO water, will it create problems in my humidor? Thanks for you help.
Ian,
RO water is the best you can use, we just usually recommend distilled because most people don't have access to RO. I use RO systems on all of our commercial humidification units and we have no problems whatsoever. Keep doing what you are doing!

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
