So its been a week since I cold smoked the cheese and I couldnt take it anymore so I opened up one of the Smoked Chedder.  ;D ;D ;D Man it was good.  I mean really good!  So now I have a question.  I have 3 other blocks vac sealed in the fridge.  How long will they stay good?  Can I freeze them?
Is it bad if my wife refers to the smoker as "The Mistress"?

Usually cheese doesn't freeze well. It becomes crumbly. Folks have kept vac sealed cheese in the fridge for months. One of my friends doesn't even begin to eat his for at least 3 months. Others have kept as long as a year. If by chance it starts some green mold (very unlikely if vac sealed) just cut is off.

Look at the dates on the cheese. Some of the cheese I just bought has late 2011 dates.

I have found a block in the back of the fridge that I smoked a year later and it was good.

Freezing cheese tends to make it crumbly

I would not freeze cheese, last time I did it came out dry and crumbly.
I rarely even vac pack my cheese, I have smoked cheese in the fridge that I did about 12-14 months ago and its as good as it was when I put it in there. I wrap with plastic wrap and put into a zip bag, thats all.
