Cacti are difficult to identify precisely but I’d start with torch cactus

Oh I see, thanks for the response!

Possibly a trichocereus variety.. I dont even know that I have mine correctly identified, they all look so similar

This is a tough one - or it’s really easy and I’m overthinking. All these columnars are, like, distinct only because of a few differences.  
I’m thinking it’s going to be on this page…

Thank you! I had a look and I think one of them looks like it but Im wondering if my cactus would bloom a flower at some point?
