The kind of cigars you refer to (mild) typically use a Connecticut Shade wrapper. The best CT shade wrappers are almost like silk in appearance, with barely-noticeable veins.
Of course, it isn't a perfect indicator, but it would be rare for a manufacturer to use a gorgeous wrapper with low-quality filler. Compare the wrapper on a Davidoff to a RP 1999. The Davidoff is Silk, the RP is plastic.
An additional complication is wrappers may be dyed('painted') or mechanically pressed to improve appearance.
