There is an extensive study done on this, I have a copy of the white paper if you would like to read it. Also I posted the link above.
Sure, I'd like to see this. The post you made is just your procedure, but I did you take any cigars and leave it in your car for a week at 100 F and see if anything hatched? Not that I could see.

The Cuban government freezes their cigars too, and you can definately get eggs from CC's so I highly highly highly doubt that freezing would kill all eggs. Fortunately, I've got a way to test this, and am willing to so you'll see something shortly. I've also heard a lot, but no real test to back any of it up.
