In my experience, an engine that's been sitting for a while may smoke for a considerable length of time. Hundreds of miles, under load, not just idling. If it runs well and doesn't leak any fluids, ignore the smoke, don't go too far from home, and start driving it regularly. Worry about it if it is still there after, say, 1000 miles. "Just my humble opinion based on limited experience."
