Sounds like valve guides to me. There's enough gap and therefore it leaks down in the cylinder. Keep eye on oil, like other poster said, its probably pretty minor since it only smokes for a bit.
If you rings are worn, then the oil gets pushed into the cylinder and slips past the rings. Another way to burn oil. Compression test will tell you if its the rings most likely. (Or suggest that's the cause.)
