Cactus ID 1

Hi, got a new cactus and I'm not sure what it is. It was sold as T.peruvianus. The smartshop I got it from had only one example picture of those plants, and the one I got looks distinctly different. Way more spines and greener than the one in the picture.
And idea what it is? It's no classic peruvianus for sure. Might be a cuzcoensis, it's very green and heavily spined. The spines are not swollen at all at their base, though.

Very interesting cutting,i too would like to know.
Definitely just guessing here: uyupampensis or Knuthianus hybrid or as you said cuzcoensis maybe. Hopefully someone chimes in.
Nice cacti.

I wish I could look at cacti and know the differences. Cacti have always thrown me off with their morphology and taxonomy. Any resources you would recommend to learn?

Just guessing but I have something similar that is labeled as T.Peruvianus var Tarma but it is a 50/50 chance that is even accurate since it was from a time when my labels weren't the best and I had two different grafts in the pot. The thorns on yours are the same pattern and color, although much bigger but it is also older.
There are so many different names, crosses, hybrids, and new clones that it's probably impossible to tell what it is unless you know who grew it. Even then, it is a crap shoot because the person who grew it is depending on the person who sold the seed to have the right name.
My second guess is that it's a Peruvian / Patch hybrid, leaning heavily to the Peruvian side.

Thanks guys. 
I see there are no obvious signs for a certain species /variety.
It's a mysterious keeper, I guess.

With the spines so dense do you reckon it could even be a Spachiana cross? Maybe x peruvianus or x bridgesii or something?

Have you looked into Trichocereus Taquimbalensis?
