As long as they were sealed it really doesn't matter if they were in the freezer for a week or years. Frozen is frozen.
Also people need to remember that just about all items placed in a freezer have an extremely high moisture content. Cigars don't. When I was doing a bunch of testing years ago (and my freezer is set to it's coldest setting), I have pulled cigars out and light them up immediately. Zero cracking, splits, etc. I lit them at various times, cut them open, twisted them, etc etc. Again keep in mind that cigars have a very low moisture content.
Anyway - toss them in your cooler and light them up when your ready.

Looks like we had the same experience. I find this very interesting. I know it has to halt the aging process in its tracks, but that could have some merit with certain cigars.
