They would hurt mine too as well as my wallet.
Coolidor + Shed = Bad Idea?

I suppose you could dig a root cellar if you really wanted to get serious.

Rented property, so that is a no go. I might ask the neighbour he is a decent chap.
You could do what you plan to do theoretically, the English temp is pretty good for cigars but the concern is which everyone piped in, is the swing of temp during the summer. It could reach above 75 but i dont think it would affect that much though.

Personally, I think the less than ideal storage options available to you create a risk of ruined cigars that outweighs any benefit from aging.
What about a shelf, built up near the ceiling, big enough to hold the cooler?
It's a rented flat, I'm assuming modifications that involve drilling into the wall are verboten. But it's a great idea it he can do it.
If there's access to the other side of the ceiling, very strong magnets could be used to avoid drilling...
The outdoor fridge is a good idea if it still seals well. Better protection against temp swings than the shed or garage. Years ago I saw some plans for converting a fridge into a temperature and humidity controlled humidor. Don't remember where and the conversion was beyond me, but you could Google it to see if it's up your alley
Anything with a condenser will make maintenance VERY hard...never seen one used successfully. ....they work well if you cut off their plug and use for storage only
A thermoelectric winecooler might fit the bill. But the conversion can get a little pricey. Only real way to keep the cost down is to find a used one on craigslist or ebay. I found my second one for $100

Interesting idea, sadly it is a no go for me as the ceiling isn't super high and the missus would never allow it.

That is what I was thinking with the freezer.

Very pricey, and the largest one that is available here holds 28bottles. So not exactly a lot of space.
It will take you awhile to stock up a 28 bottle, even at a box a month, it will take you over a year to fill, and thats assuming you don't smoke any of it.
I get it.
With cutting the plug off of a freezer, isn't there a worry of mold? I've left two refrigerators closed (one in my RV, another that was just decommissioned) and they grew mold...

Alright, from what I saw they seemed tiny... but then again I am crap at 3d thinking. Maybe there is space for one of those.
You could fit at least 10-15 boxes of 20s by modest estimates. If you like playing cigar tetris then you could fit in at least 20. It didn't take me long to fill it up but im not smoking as much as I used to, so the depletion rate is much slower.

Awesome. Now just to find one for not too much, and find the space...
