I smoke out of my pipes only1 time per day. There are two reasons: 1) moisture build-up that causes tongue bite. 2) not letting a pipe rest and dry may cause bowl burn-out.
As for dedicated pipes, that is simply a matter of taste. I don't like the taste of Latakia in my Hamborger Veermaster (a lighter Virginia). I also don't like the taste of Irish Creme in my English blends. So, I have personally found that I have a pipe that I can smoke many English blends in, a pipe for aromatics, a couple pipes for straight VAs and a couple pipes for VaPers.
And, I have a couple pipes that go with me and will smoke anything I bring along, although my normal "go to" blends are VAs and VaPers, so they do all right in the same pipe.
Hope that helps.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
