Under the right conditions do cigars age in coolidors?

As long as there is cedar involved. Cigar boxes or drawers.

Sure. I've been using Igloo coolers, Spanish Cedar trays and/or cigar boxes and KL for years. Just be sure to open the lid occasionally to exchange some air. I much prefer the Igloodor over a wood humidor. More bang for your buck. Spend the savings on some good cigars.

The cedar isn't even necessary for aging. As long as the cigars are stored at a good humidity and temperature, the tobacco will continue to ferment, and the cigars will age. Spanish cedar provides a good way to regulate humidity, as well as some natural pest control, and a pleasing aroma. So, yes, coolidors will age your cigars just fine.

Rebecca said it, as long as humidity and temp are right they will age well.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

What they said + in a coolerdor, the RH is much easier to keep stable. In wood humidors, RH tends to vary more in my experience.  But it is mandatory to change the air as coolers are much more hermetic than standard humidors.
