I bought this cactus today. Can someone help to ID it. I don't know but it looks like a Pilosocereus.

Good ol pilosocereus pachycladus or calcisaxicolus. It should branch out soon

These are highly variable so i'd confirm the species from botanical descriptions.
Watch those spines though, they are pretty sharp!
All the ones i've seen in this size where much skinnier and i thought that's the norm. How wide would you estimate the stem to be?
