white smoke is water or coolant it could be your head gasket or your coolant sleeves

Re: this is wierd....
you can do a minor rebuild would not be costly if this is something thats bothering you, pull the head have it reworked, pull the oil pan , remove the piston and rering them, throw in a set of new rod bearings and hone the cylinders then it would stop all oil consumption and freshing up most of the engine with out even having to pull the motor. It works really well if done properly. I have done a ton of these on four cylinders.

Everyone is addressing the big picture for you, and that is great, but it seems you need some explanations as to why it is not overheating, etc.
A small puff of smoke is not going to lead significant oil consumption or antifreeze consumption (depending on if it is truly white/blue oil smoke or pure white antifreeze vapor-{antifreeze does not smoke, it is a sickly-sweet smelling moisture vapor}) Assuming it is oil: 210 means you have good compression/no big "hole" for compression to escape. To verify the presence of a leak you'd have to have a cylinder leak down test performed on each cyl. Assuming it is coolant: Small puffs would indicate a small reduction in pressure/very slow coolant loss and no overheating. You still have a funcitoning fan, water pump, rad. cap, radiator, and plenty of coolant so as far as heat goes, the engine is happy. My guess: It's oil (harder to find/more expensive to fix). Why: If you had a small coolant leak, most likely when you started it in the morning it would be harder to start than normal and there would likely be initial puffing of white vapor and rough ildle; all three of which would clear up after running for a few minutes. Good luck!
