I'm leaning toward bridgesii, but it could be a hybrid... looks good though, I'm jealous

Thanks for the help guys. Those spines are like tooth picks! I thought they looked a bit different than my other bridgesii.

I dare to say bridgesii cactus.. Spines tell that.. Bridgesii are defined that there is 1-6 radial and central spines There is no "peruvianus"-like spines where is long central spine(s) and then several radial spines. Lack of these radial spines are in my mind genetics of bridgesii. Pachanoi&Peruvianus have usually lots of radial spines what bridgesii doesn't have.
Even there is long spined t. pachanoi but usually long central spine have 4-8 radial spines around the long central spine. I have read somewhere that t. peruvianus have 1-2 long central spines, pachanoi have only one but both have radial spines. However, there is lots of descriptions of plants but bridgesii(or bridgesiinoids) isn't so hard to identify cause they are lacking these small radial spines like pictures there are posted.
Cool cactus 
I want to show Trichocereus Bridgesii forma monstrosa spines, basically it's bridgesii as well as any other bridgesii but form is different. Spines tell me this is "the bridgesii"
 Columnar growing plants have same style spine formation than these monstrose bridgesii plants. Actually this forms of TBM plants show the spine formation what bridgesii have. These are possibly the most "pure" bridgesii plants but form of growth is not.
This monstrose have very minor amount small radial spines but not as regular than most trichocereus species have. I have 3 different monstrose bridgesii, one have max 5 spines from aerole, one have ~1-4 spines very short, and this in the picture have very long honey coloring spines and 1-3 small radial spines but not from every aerole.
I don't know does anyone has used pollen from trichocereus bridgesii forma monstrosa.. I have seen pictures from australia where this cactus flowers so possible TBM pollinated trichos are possible to be if someone has done that. Usually it's known TBM will not flower or get it to bloom are very hard.
