from Sacred Succulents and Serra Gardens and Ed and Betty Gay before them. “Don Huan” is a new name for this clone but it seems likely to stick.

Big Mac is a general name like Blue Torch and doesn’t refer to a specific clone.
But if there is an original Big Mac clone this may be it. This is a Trichocereus huanucoensis that has been available for many years as Big Mac. Sold by jiimz and The Succulent Source, and previously available from World Seed Supply.
This clone was designated “P7 huanucoensis” when used for some breeding projects a while back crossing it with Skip, Awful, and others
Cuttings of this Trichocereus huanucoensis P7 Big Mac are sometimes available from Cactus Affinity.
Trichocereus lumberjackius aka lumberjackus aaka Lumberjack. My plants came direct from Joe Lev in 2001.
Origin Story: "Here is the origin of the super hero know as 'lumberjack" It never ceases to amaze me that my little joke has become common parlance in the ethnobot underground.
I went out to this bill collectors office in Rancho Cordova, CA to give up some blood money. Leaving I saw a big Lumberjack building supply store. I was fairly new at growing cacti, I think I was still looking for my first peruvianus, I probably just had a few pachanois and maybe my first WOH which was sold as a peruvianus, but really looks nothing like one. I go out to the garden area and spot what looked to me like a pachanoi but with wicked big spines. It was in a large plastic pot , had several columns about 3 ft high. I think I paid about $45 for it. …
As I learned more, I saw that it appears to be a peruvianus/bridgessi cross. Like a fat bridg or a peruvianus with less spines per pad. It's a fast grower, but doesn't seem to grow as tall as a pachanoi. It flowers occasionally, and once I got it to cross with a pachanoi. Sometimes the new growth has a beautiful blue color that love.
When I started trading it I gave it a fake latin name, "lumberjackius", which people soon shortened to "lumberjackus" and then "lumberjack""

This is an old Trichocereus pachanoi clone that can be traced back to Malo and Hemisphere’s Nursery and Trading Company. Old forum posts suggest Hemisphere’s Nursery imported this clone from Karel Knize.

This clone was collected by Donna and Manuel Torres in Northern Chile. It appeared to be a wild specimen but was found outside the standard range for Trichocereus pachanoi.
My plants come from Sacred Succulents. Starting around 2017 the similar looking clone known as “Texas Torch” (aka “Bolivian Torch” propagated by Creekside Nursery in Texas) has been relabeled as Torres and spread through the community.
“Thirty years ago, I got RS0001 from the defunct Sticky Business nursery in Sebastopol, California. I got RS0002 when a cactus collector who was moving out of the country gave me his collection, which was mainly peruvianus that he had obtained form various local sources and that looked identical. I got RS0003 from Makuto Kimura's defunct nursery near Gilroy, California. All three varieties looked similar but had a distinct appearance that enabled me to recognize them without using labels. But when cultivated in the same location, they all transformed to look the same, so for the most part I could not tell them apart except for a few that had plant tags. Live and learn. Therefore, when I distribute that variety, which is very likely all one clone anyway or at least siblings form the same batch of seeds, I label it RS0001-3.” -Kakster, Summer 2019
