Hi Mushroomman, need closer pics. Spines and such. Could be various things. Gigantic Schickendantzii, Espostoa, Haageocereus, etc.

I see. :) My first impulse was Espostoa Guentherii which would be awesome. It as an extremely rare cactus and builds some kind of cephalium later on. That being said, i t hink it should already have one at that size and the cactus could also be a very large Schickendantzii. No matter what, me like. bye Eg

Great score man! To me it looks like some sort of cleistocactus, but that's a stab in the dark.
