I have two of those that I don't use for smokes. For a little cooler, they hold an incredible amount of drinks. They're super easy to drag around, too. The shape might not lend itself so much to stacking boxes, but I wouldn't think that's too big a deal, you'll get plenty in there. When you get done using it for smokes, it'll work great for partying.

Here's another thought...
Some of the big, white marine coolers will stand up on end, and they have grooves inside where you can slide in shelves. Guys use them like winadors, and they're pretty slick. It wouldn't take up any more floor space, and you'd get WAY more storage out of it.
