Got this huge fat T. pach recently, well at lest I think it is, the spines are slightly bigger than normal pach spines @ (biggest) 5mm, but I suppose they are relevant to the size of the plant.
The photos are taken at an angle where the plant is looking its skinniest, its about 17cm to 18cm at the base and yes it needs a much bigger pot, bring on spring

Kinda looks like a scop. But looks alot like the Backeberg clone of San Pedro too. Possibly a hybrid.

Looks like it's about 6-7 inch in diameter so am going to have to say scop if it's that fat.

Sorry San, I had to edit the size of your pics, was really really annoying me. Hope you don't mind.

People you can resize your pics in the editor, it's really easy and it prevents me from getting annoyed about large pics too Wink

Looks to me to be the standard Backeberg clone of E. Pachanoi. It can be slightly varied, it was probably a cutting off an older plant. When you repot it check to see whether it was seed grown, but I highly doubt it.

If you really think it is something else my guess would be E. sp. 'Super Pedro', that's pretty similar to E. pachanoi but slightly fatter.
