Not the best of condition but I have heard of worse treatment. As long as the wrapper isnt cracked anywhere,,,put em in your humidor and let them rest for at least a few months. There is a good chance they have lost their essential oils after this amount of time without proper care but letting them rest in a humidor "might" bring something back to them. The only thing you will lose is,,,nothing and you have everything to gain.
