Do all the Hudson shape pipes come with that style PLip stem the ones on SP don’t look like they have a bend in it? I like yours i wouldn’t want one with a straight stem.

All of the Hudsons I’ve ever seen are bent. It’s part of what defines the shape. From SP’s description:

”Also referred to as the "XL21," the bowl's forward cant and easy transition echo the stem's slight downward turn, lending the muscular form a sense of elegance. Its robust proportions, especially the extra substance lent to the shank and transition speak of the Irish marque's own design manifest: classic English shapes, tweaked in proportions to create something unique in and of itself.”

Do a search on SP for XL21 and it will show all of their Hudsons. They’re all bent to varying degrees. Some are more bent than others.

Dragged the chainsaw up a ladder and took care of some broken limbs (before they fell and took care of us), changed out the rotted Schrader valves in the tractor’s rear tires, and finally welded up a latch on the back door of the shop.
