I agree with the SWR comparison. This is very similar, even the cut. Haven't smoked SWR in a while but this seems about the same strength. Since so many reviewers extolled this blend in a cob, I tried it. Actually, it IS better in a cob than in the several briars I used (all dedicated to Burleys). This ain't bad, especially for the price. That's not a cop-out, either. If I'm paying nearly $20 for 50gr of tobacco, it better be really f'n good. For the price, this passes muster.
This blend is quite mild, not a bit of it wild, so if you want a nic hit, honey, just pass on it.
This is about a 2.5-star blend, but I can't give it that, obviously, so I am going with three stars, which it deserves if you are not hung up on every bowl being a nic-fest. After Uhle's Perfection Plug Burley (also cube cut), this is weaker stuff, but not everybody wants a strong blend, and Natural Blend is good for what it is. The codger aroma is nice, too. I grew up around a lot of old white and black men smoking stuff like this, so it's kind of a wayback thing for me. I prefer SP's Rich Taste for a mild Burley smoke, I think.
It also nicely cuts harsher Burley blends. I mixed some of this with Five Brothers (60/40 Nat/5Bro), and though they have not married yet, the mixture is promising.

Sorry, made a mistake. When I purchase bagged or bulk I put them in mason jars. This review should have been for Smokers Pride Rich. Cigarette plain taste wise. Fact is purchased to roll. Cut is wider than cig tobacco and just did not work for me. Smoked a little strong and wet for cigs. Now the good part. The flavor is tobacco, plain tobacco. Alone it is bland for me being an aromatic smoker mostly but as a blender it is super. It is a blender that can tone down flavor without robbing the experience of flavor. It mellows out not waters down. For instance, a pinch of Lanes BS-005 with Lat, a couple pinches of Smokers Pride vanilla cav and a couple pinches of SM Natural let it sit in a can a least a week and you have a tasty blend similar to HGL.

While this tobacco is very plain it isn't nearly as bad as one would have guessed. Add some Latakia to it and you have a pretty good smoke.
The bag I bought was much drier than I expected. Most of these bagged tobaccos are covered in something to keep them from drying out. Maybe this bag was on the shelf for a couple of years? At any rate I found it to be quite pleasant even on it's own.
Believe me when I say you could do a lot worse.

This an extremely neutral blend. I too feel it is mostly burly. I smoke this stuff two ways... straight in a cob, while working, or mixed with a strong burley blend to dilute the casings I am always promised are not present.... a little "Hair of the dog", without the teeth! This is Prince Albert before the royal promotion. My wife enjoys the aroma, and can't tell the difference between this and the Prince.
