Generally you want to let a pipe rest a bit between smokes (for the moisture to leave the briar). I've found that repeatedly burning the same pipe over the course of a day works, but once it has sat for about 8 hours, it needs to rest a day or two before it is good again. That said, if you smoke once or twice a day, you can easily get by with 3-4 pipes (of which 2 or 3 can be inexpensive cobs).
