Recently when i fire up my car I will get a large single puff of smoke that comes out of my exhaust that smells like burning rubber. Any idea on what this could be.

I live in Florida and the temps outside are lower then normal think that might have something to do with it?

If gray to blue/gray then oil due to worn valve seals and guides
