It seems that you are assuming that all three cigars have beetle eggs in them. If all three cigars don't have any beetle eggs hatch by the end of the treatment we can't correctly deduce that the reason there were no beetle hatchings was because of the treatments since there is no positive (or negative) control. Still seems like a cool idea though! Can't wait to see the results.

Personally I think if there are eggs in the cigar the microwaving would have a greater chance of killing the eggs but I have no sound science behind why I think that.
