I was gonna say austrocylindropuntia. I think that the way you say/spell it. I may be wrong.

It's opuntia fulgida. Nice plant, grows almost columnar, but branche a lot, resulting in nice bushs . Oftens shows monstrose traits and crests.
Here a community pot with several cacti and a little bush of opuntia fulgida

I believe that was the original name for the genus, then they changed it to cylindropuntia, then just opuntia.

I agree with the species but still think it's monstrose and/or crested. Where I live opuntia fulgida is a native plant and they don't often crest on their own, I drive by acres of the cacti and they look like regular cholla. I end up with those in my ankles about once a month just from my job (landscaping)
