Cactus ID

I was buying at an Eroski (a spanish kind of k-mart) and saw a cactus at the garden zone. It was the only of his kind, the others were common opuntias and cereus. Since it was only 1?, I took it home.
Some pics (its about 8cm tall):


Forget those red areoles, they got tinted from an horrendous artificial flower that was attached (and I removed). There's a small burnt since they used thermal fusible glue.
Well, the blue shading reminds me of a peruvianus or bridgesii, but the spines are more like those from cuzcoensis. It has 5 ribs, btw. Leave your opinion.
Thanks.

I think it looks like a smaller version of my Pilosocereus pachycladus. I also bought this at a large departmeent store. With the pink flower hot glued to the top.

Pilosocereus is a more accurate ID

It really looks like both. Maybe even other species. I always found difficult to ID cacti

God damn, how fucking retarded would someone have to be to GLUE a flower onto a living cactus? You'd think the people growing them would actually care about them, rather than viewing them as just another commercial product. *vomits*
On a lighter note, that's a neat little cactus, and I'm sure with some love and attention it will grow into a really great specimen. Llamabox's one certainly looks pretty kickass. I'd like to get ahold of one of those.

Those cacti at the store were poorly treated. In fact, some of them were just hollow skeletons (made from the structure of the spines). Not only they got rotten, there was no trace of cacti, only spines. They didn't bother to replace them.

The areoles on mine are white, but no hairs.

P azureus and pachycladus are about as synonymous as peruvianus and pachanoi. Since they hybridize with each other.. I would also call this one an azureus however.

I'm curious what cactus this is..? I just bought it from Home Depot. Looks like P azureus.. but I'm not sure. Also, does this contain mescaline? I'm not going to be using it for the mescaline, I'm just curious. Thanks.
