There is some debate about storing cigars for long term ageing in plastic bags. The theory is that you will have slower ageing, which will result in more flavorsome cigars. These cigars are sealed for sometimes decades and are supposedly exquisite.

My point is, I dont think 6 months unopened will be detrimental. Your cooler might smell a bit of ammonia if your cigars are still young when the cooler is first opened. When you get back, crack the cooler for a day or two to evacuate the ammonia smell if there is any... I think youll be fine
