I like saddles better for clenching, interesting, thanks!
Yes. The shape designation followed by an “S” denotes a saddle stem.
Are they rarer? I doubt it. But I don’t have any manufacturing data or sales figures to back that up. I would imagine what type of stem a certain pipe got was driven by sales numbers and/or requests from wholesalers/vendors.

Pembroke S means saddle stem vs a tapered stem in the Pembroke without the S.And "XS"? What does it mean？ I'm a novice.
I have a Sasieni 4 dot Pembroke, one of my favorite pipes! I bought it from a customer and good friend around 1984. He smoked Captain medium, which is also what I smoked so there was no problem with ghosts in that pipe! Friend I got it from has long since passed away but I remember him every time I smoke the Pembroke. Great smoke and fond memories.
And "XS"? What does it mean？ I'm a novice.
XS= Premium priced shape.
XS - Extra Special as @Papamique suggested for shapes which are more artistic/difficult to curve like Exeter, Viscount Lascelles, Danzey etc…
The XS nomenclature is not limited to Four Dots. The same shape in a different line (Like Claret) would also get them.
