This is an idea that's been around for quite a long time and putting your cigars into a running fridge is not a good idea as it will do what the above post says. Hopefully you have taken them out before all of the RH has been sucked out of the cigars.
Conversely I have seen people take a non running refrigerator and store cigars in there because of the great seal it provides...they put in their media of choice and as long as the temps don't go over 70 degrees it makes for a good storage idea.
