The purpose of letting the pipe rest is to allow the moisture absorbed by the wood to dry. If you are smoking one bowl a day, smoking every day isn't going to hurt anything. If you smoke more often, letting it rest is a good idea.

If the pipe is not allowed to dry, it will sour quicker than if it is allowed.

Eventually the pipe will start to sour or taste off, when that happens a Salt & Alcohol treatment is all that is needed to refresh it.
